Summary

My background as a certified nurse aide has equipped me with valuable transferable skills that directly support success as a pet bather. I have extensive experience providing gentle hands on care, maintaining patience in stressful situations and ensuring safety of those under my care, skills that transfer great to working with animals. In addition, my experience building trust with patients and their families has strengthened my ability to approach pets and their owners with compassion, professionalism, and respect. You will notice a gap in my work history. In 2020 I had to step away from the workplace for a number of years due to a disability. My condition has improved significantly and I am excited to succeed in a new career path.
