Summary
My background consists of animal care from a caretaker to a vet assistant. My knowledge has grown so much from both jobs. I would like a change of career as I love to cook and serve others. I have been around kids for a long time as I have 3 of my own. I have taken culinary and child development courses throughout my high school career.
