I am an inpeccable communicator, extremely flexible and passionate about caring for all living things, especially animals. I run a community garden across the street from my apartment which provides a large, open and enclosed space for the dogs I sit to play safely outside. I’ve been caring for my yorkie-poodle, Chili Pepper, for 5 years and enjoy playing with her, going on road trips and hikes. My main job as a garden educator for Gardeneers provides an opportunity for me to work with students ranging from Pre-Kindergarden through high school. I also work with my family, neighbors and friends to build community gardens. My schedule becomes a bit more hectic in the spring and summer but I am able to take dogs with me to certain gardens. My other job as a bicycle courier for Chicago Messenger allows flexibility with my time.
