I have been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of pets and farm animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and livestock. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. For the past 26 years, I have worked as a special education teacher, which has taught me patience, responsibility, compassion, and the importance of creating a calm and supportive environment. I am looking for a fun and rewarding summer part-time opportunity doing something I truly love — spending time with animals. I currently volunteer with Friends of Feral Felines and have also volunteered with local animal shelters over the years. In addition, I have fostered both cats and dogs, helping provide them with a caring home environment while they waited for adoption. As a lifelong animal owner and caregiver, I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, medication, extra patience, or simply companionship, I treat every animal like family.
