Caretaking?
Does anyone know if there is a site that list places where they need caretakers?

@rbusby01 Does it have to be state/region specific?
Also, what type of caretaking...building, people, other?

I was thinking of home/property/animals. Currently in Texas, but flexible :)

You could put an "ad" in Buy, Sell, Barter.
I found a website quite some time ago that paired people like you with others who needed such services. I wish I could find it again. It seemed well vetted & respectable. Maybe someone else here has heard of such a service/site? I think it was mainly for people wanting to get away & needing someone for a short time.
Are you looking for short term, or permanent?

More 3-6 months I think. I think there is a caretaking site that is global. I'll have to look for it.
-
A few websites come to mind that I know of:
caretaker.org
workaway.info
wwoof.net
care.com
I hope you will find these helpful. Good luck!

You could also try colleges and high schools. There used to be lots of kids looking to earn beer money doing odd jobs.

Here is one similar to what I was talking about, however, these listings look quite public, old and I don't know anything about this group nor its members.
No matter how hard I look, I still can't find the site that I first mentioned. I might just have the wrong search or maybe it is no longer operating.
Of course, a person needs to do their homework & only do what you feel safe doing.
