Hi my name is Zixiang Huang, go by Jessica. My love for pets began in childhood when I grew up with three dogs and two cats. We shared a special bond, taking care of each other every day. When I moved to the U.S. in 2018, I lived with a host family who had a sweet border collie named Callie. While my main responsibility was caring for the children, I also loved spending time with Callie. I walked her daily, often while picking up the kids from the bus stop. I stayed at home and took care of her when my host family traveled. After completing my au pair program, I worked as a part-time nanny for several families, often helping with their pets as well. Sometimes I went to their home and accompany the pets , and with the owner's permission, sometimes I took them to a hiking trip. My experience has allowed me to build strong connections with animals, ensuring they feel loved, comfortable, and cared for in their families' absence.
