I'm a proud solo mama of two young, amazing kids & a sweet baby and we enjoy spending time with animals as often as we can. We currently have three hens who love to help us in the garden. We adopted a rescued senior citizen dog (mixed) about a year ago and loved every minute we had with her until her final day. Our previous pets passed away due to old age as well. I was a proud owner of two Oberhasli milking goats, a mixed cattle dog who was trained as a service animal, two short-haired tabby cats, two barn cats, a miniature horse, and several other fun pets like a parrot, a hedgehog, and reptiles. * I love all kinds of animals and I do work with animals with special needs. I trained one of dogs to become a certified service animal for my needs as a deaf person and it was an amazing experience. * I am a mama, a gardener, and a teacher. I am hands-on, calm, patient, and fun. I grow my own food with my family and love the outdoors. * My hours are usually flexible and I look forward to working with you! :) I work as a teacher full-time on weekdays and as a postpartum doula on the side. I am home to take care of your pets before and after my teaching hours and on weekends. I have more time at home when school is not in session during fall, winter, spring, and summer breaks. My backyard is fenced and I have a childproof lock for the front door. Your pet is welcome to bring their bed and crate for security and comfort.
