About Valerie

Hello, my name is Valerie. I taught elementary Special Education for about 10 years and love working with children and animals. I connect well with animals and treat them with respect, meaning I will treat your animals however they like to be treated. Growing up, I've had dogs, cats and guinea pigs. Currently I have 2 dogs, who are loved members of my family. I have raised them since they were puppies and have taken them to training classes. If I am hired to work for you, I am able to walk, brush, give medicine, feed and transport if needed. I'm not a trained bather or groomer, but I've given my dogs baths, blow dry, and nail trims and filing. I used to work at a school that had cameras in their classrooms. If you have cameras, let me know, and I'll interact in view of the cameras. I'm trustworthy, honest and will communicate with you about the care of your pets. I have been hired by 2 families from care. com and they will be able to give you my character reference.
