I've worn many hats over the years.
Farm work, yard maintenance, factory labor, and other physically demanding roles. As for mind stimulating roles. I've worked as a draftsman, programmer, machine maintenance, and designed/crafted custom parts as needed.
The most uplifting of roles has to be the years I've cared for a couple of family's children. They've all grown up and could not be more proud of them.

I am CPR certified and have extensive experience working with both children and animals. I’ve spent nearly two years as a camp counsellor, where I supervised and engaged with kids in a safe and supportive environment. In addition, I regularly volunteer at animal shelters, gaining hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. My background in childcare, combined with my passion for animals and safety training, makes me a responsible and reliable choice for both pet sitting and babysitting.
