I wish this was on the east coast.<br>

<FONT size=3>FWIW, I saw a couple in Maine, VT, and NH but was mostly looking for nice weather.&nbsp; If you're interested I can find them, easily enough and send them to you.&nbsp; I think I saw a couple in FL, too.</FONT><br><FONT size=3></FONT>&nbsp;<br><FONT size=3>google caretaker RV or&nbsp;security RV, with the state you are interested in finding work.</FONT><br>

At least in California, most "security" jobs require a "Guard Card".&nbsp; There are classes you can take that help you get it, and I've heard recruiters ready to hire almost anyone who passes.&nbsp; Mostly working nights and weekends, for not much more than minimum wage.<br>

I just found this thread after posting to a new one.
I know, I should have looked first.
But I Ain't Right.
Here's a Caretaker Gazette link (like Workamper News but all Caretaking jobs)

I search INDEED.com for caretaker jobs just to see what is out there...........some good ones do show up there from time to time but the ones I have had came from personal connections.

I'm pretty round in spots, but have rough edges,  it would be hard to call me well-rounded,  but I think I got the sense of humor thing knocked.  I know I amuse the heck out of myself. 

Maybe I should apply!

This thread and the original job posting is from 2011. There's a good chance the openings have been filled and/or changed

I would totally let someone stay at my place in exchange for 20hrs of work a week. if they do a little extra I'll throw in a bologna sandwich...gee what a deal.

maybe I can find a couple and they can work my full-time job for me. Or 2 couples and double my income!

12 hours a week for rent only in a private space shared bathroom. Flexibility about hours so they can earn at an outside job.

15 include utilities, wifi, 20 to include reasonable groceries, shared cooking.

IMO more than fair, would get **tons** of takers within commuting distance of a decent sized city.
