As an animal care assistant, I provided support to employees by assisting with routine tasks such as feeding, observing the health of animals, and providing general care. Additionally, I trained animals to behave in a way that made it easier for veterinarians to examine them and for educational presentations.
I performed preventative maintenance and routine upkeep on animal environments and cleaned both indoor and outdoor animal enclosures, service areas, public spaces, and their surroundings. Furthermore, I educated the public on animal behavior while raising awareness about animal conservation.
I monitored animal behavior and reported changes in feeding habits, diet, breeding behavior, health status, physical conditions, and other abnormalities. Lastly, I planned, scheduled, and supervised animal exercise routines and diets.As an animal care assistant, I provided support to employees by assisting with routine tasks such as feeding, observing the health of animals, and providing general care.
