I am a nurse but coming from two parents that were teachers, education has always been a passion of mine. I was a tutor throughout high school, and I loved finding new ways to help others learn.
I feel most comfortable with math and science, but I am confident that I could assist in other subjects for younger students.
In short, I have been a pet sitter for my small hometown since 2014 or so. I have pet sat big dogs, fish, birds, horses, cats, and reptiles. Mostly dogs. I understand the importance of keeping one's pet safe & taken care of.
