I have hands-on experience caring for both animals and children. I’ve worked at a humane society, where I gained experience around animals and learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and proper care. I’ve also cared for my grandma’s dogs, making sure they were fed, supervised, and given plenty of attention.
I’m currently completing my education online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to work around my clients’ needs. I also have experience babysitting my siblings and my mom’s friends’ children, which has helped me become dependable, responsible, and attentive to others’ needs.
I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines and will treat every pet with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. 🐾❤️
