About: I was raised on a ranch so I've been exposed to all kind of care. I've also worked in pet boarding. I know how to do basic care to administering insulin. I also can take care of reptiles, avian and aquatics I'm currently working in between part time and full time at a petstore while also saving to go to school as a vet tech. My schedule changes weekly but is normally pretty open. I can come over as often as needed to deliver the upmost and personalized care for every one of my clients. Anywhere from having just basic check ins to over night stays and administration of medicine
About: My momma had me cleaning up after pets of all kinds as soon as I could walk. She had a farm, and she worked at the Local Humane Society. And with no regrets, took me with her to work such jobs. So here I am Looking to Help YOU. I am currently a single mom looking for a way to make money for my family, that also works around the kid’s school schedule. So I hope you will let me work for YOU.
