I've always loved spending time with animals. I adopted my first cat in college, and finally got to live with a dog after college in Germany, for my first nannying job with a toddler and a Golden Retriever. Whether with my own animals or those of family or friends, I always love playing, petting, walking (when applicable), brushing, and cuddling! Due to my work schedule through the years, I've had mostly cats in my own homes, and therefore have more experience dealing with cats who are senior or medically fragile than with dogs who have special needs. For decades, I have also taught humans, from kindergarten age through adult, and understand how important it is to be responsible and reliable, and to follow instructions. Each situation or animal may require specific or special care, and I am happily willing to take that on. I love all animals, whether small or big! If you do have an aggressive and huge/heavyweight dog that needs a big, bulky person to restrain it, I may not be your best fit, as I'm 5'5" and not competing in bodybuilding in this lifetime. Otherwise, hopefully I'll get to meet your fur family soon!
