About Melissa

I'd describe my personality as patient, empathetic, kind. I like working with animals because they are unique, each one has their own personality and preferences. I'm looking for a job that allows me to help you care for animals in your home. I started working with animals when I was a child, growing up on a farm. In my spare time, I like to hike, kayak, bike, and go camping. Essentially, I love to be outdoors. One thing you should know about me is that non-human animals always "know" that I'm a good person and love all animals. My skills include patience, allowing time to build trust. I am very good at discerning how animals feel about situations and acting accordingly. I've also had past employment as a veterinary technician so I know how to administer medications as well as communicating health concerns that I may observe.
