Hello! I am a substitute preschool teacher and freelance photographer who loves caring for and spending quality time with animals. I am energized by the profound sweetness of dogs in particular and love the way they bring 'play' and 'love' to the forefront of our lives. Working with small children has shown me that I have so much energy, love, patience and laughter to give, and my flexible schedule has encouraged me to seek out ways that I can use these qaulities to be of service to my community. Having had pets throughout my entire life I promise to treat your baby as if they were my own. I understand and respect that every animal is their own special being with their own needs and preferences and I look forward to getting to know each and every one I have the opportunity to care for.
