Hii!! I’m 16 and currently taking a gap year after leaving school. I’ve been lucky enough to travel around the world on my own at 16 and experience lots of new things, and next year I’m planning to study Animal Science at TAFE! I love animals and have two dogs of my own who I take care of. I’d love to look after other people’s pets while they’re away, walking them, or keeping them company and I’m also interested in babysitting! I’m caring, responsible, patient and always happy to learn new things. I’d love to help out families and make sure their pets are happy and well looked after while they’re away!! 🐾💗

I am currently in Grade 11 at Ryde Secondary College, I have been a scout since I was 11 years old which has given me extensive knowledge in safety and first aid, as a part of this I have also obtained a first aid certificate and thorough first aid experience. I have been working at part time jobs since the age of 14, when I first worked with kids at birthday parties and school holiday programs, after a year and a half I left that job to work at Grill'd Burgers which provided me with more customer service skills, after leaving that job, I currently work at a different birthday party business where I teach children in gymnastics during their parties.
I also have experience babysitting many children from families in the local area.
