Past Pet Care Experience: In the past I have cared for hermit crabs, gerbils, cats, rabbits and dogs for family, friends, and people in my community. I loved it so much that I have decided to do this part time. I am a native English speaker. I also speak French and Arabic. I am advanced in French and intermediate in MSA Arabic. I love animals especially cats. I find that many animals are very curious about the world and I enjoy playing games with them that stoke their creativity.
Cat sit for me at my home for 2 weeks while I was away in Australia for a wedding. This was back in 2013. I wanted Makeda to stay at my home because the cat had really bad ringworm and I didn't want to have to move the cat around. The condition was also very distressing for the cat. Sophie (my cat) would meow loudly, pace, and constantly scratch at her fur but Makeda was good at calming her down. I liked the way she interacted with the cat. Sophie really liked Makeda. Makeda also gave Sophie her anti-biotic. Makeda also watered my plants and picked up my mail. I also liked that someone was at the house in case anything happened. I noticed that the cat s fur looked much better when I got back from vacation. I met Makeda through a paper ad I put up at church.
