My previous care experience includes five years of one-on-one work as a TSS (Therapeutic Staff Support). I provided support and guidance to children with special needs in order for them to learn and apply appropriate social skills. As far as Pet Care experience, I have grown up with pets - mainly dogs and cats. So far, my family has had 3 Golden Retriever dogs (my current dog is 7-year-old Brodie). We have also cared for 2 domestic short-hair cats. Many of my friends and family also grew up with pets. I have provided dog care a number of times throughout the years by visiting, feeding, walking, and playing with friends' dogs. During my time as a TSS, I also cared for my client's dog when necessary, as I was working in the home. I am typically available most weekdays in the early afternoon until 9/10pm. I am also available to work some weekend hours, which can be further discussed upon contact.
