I am an Army veteran and mother of 5 children (now nearly grown). I have worked in everything from the office as a financial advisor to on the warehouse floor to restaurant kitchens to house cleaning and medical staff in an ER. But nothing has ever made me so happy as to work with the animals. Animals have always been a part of my life. I'm very attentive, patient and loving to my animal friends. I have cared for old dogs with arthritis, blindness, and incontinence that required medication and special attention. I have owned a deaf boxer that was born deaf and learned asl sign commands, so am experienced in handling the special needs as well. I am experienced with those that stubbornly misbehave and or have emotional traumas. I have had all sorts of pets and am confident I could help care for any of your other family members (except spiders), but reptiles, birds, fish, plants etc. all fine. I am available day, night, weekend, and holidays unless otherwise shown on the calendar.
