About Carol Beaver:

Hello, 


I live in Boulder, Colorado. This morning I went on a trail run close to my home--I love being active and have pet-sat many friend's dogs who required daily exercise. I love to ski as well, and I do a bit of yoga every day. I LOVE to cook and grow food, and have cooked professionally at one point in my life.  (Recently foraged nettles while on a hike and came home and made homemade ricotta-nettle ravioli). I'm adept at canning and preserving food. 

I've been a freelance photo stylist in commercial photography for almost 30 years and I'm ready to do something more. I love to travel and have traveled to Europe extensively.  I have WWOOF'd in Italy and France, taking care of sheep & horses, bed and breakfast, cooking, gardening, cleaning, ironing, etc. etc.  

During Covid quarantine I stayed at my family's Farm in South Dakota, and was able to reestablish my Mom's perennial gardens, as well as build two waist-high growing boxes, and I pruned and maintained small bushes and trees. I have A+ protocol for health/safety. I'm extremely aware and careful. 

Growing up on a cattle farm, I was always around animals.  I always had a horse, a dog, and plenty of barn-cats! One year I had a calf that I raised to sell at auction. 

I now own three properties with seven rentals in Colorado and Utah, so I understand what it takes to keep up a home and lawn/garden. Except for electric and plumbing, I'm able to do most of the work myself--painting, basic repairs, landscaping etc. I own and know how to use power tools :)  

I don't drink very often. I don't smoke anything or do drugs of any kind.  I love being healthy, taking care of my body and the body of the planet (for a few years I had a small produce business that bought organic produce at the Farmer's Market in Boulder, CO and sold/delivered it to local chefs). 

I have actually traveled in and around 49 of the 50 states in the US except for  Mississippi, and have traveled in most of Europe and to the Yucatan/Mexico, and Chile & Guatemala.  I can read a menu fairly well in Spanish, Italian, German & French. I love walking through markets and grocery stores in foreign countries.  I LOVE music but cannot carry a tune. Love to read. And my favorite thing in the world, I think, besides food, is DRIVING! 

I'm very down-to-earth and chill.

Here's my work website, just so you can see a bit more about me...

No allergies except sulfa-drugs.

I really appreciate you taking this time.

Cheers,
Carol

Carol took great care of our Villa and our cat in Switzerland. Furthermore she was in charge of the cleaning and checkin and checkout of all guests of our premium Airbnb. She exceeded our expectations by far. A great personality and housesitter - absolutely recommended!
