I grew up on a farm, so spent most of my childhood with animals. We kept pigs, cows and a range of poultry - along with my faithful dogs and cat. I moved to Cambridge just over a year ago to work at the University Library; although I love my job I do miss the farm constantly. I feel very lucky, growing up around so many animals was an incredible childhood and I find being around animals to be really fulfilling. I worked as a guide dog trainer in university and started a program of taking guide dogs to meet dementia patients. It was exactly as wholesome as it sounds. I studied biology at university, a degree that saw me working in 2 years looking after the lab mice. Working oon my father's farm and later in the lab has shown me the respect that should be shown to animals. I don't know what else I can really say other than I truly do love animals and I think that is the best qualifier for this job. If it helps I'm also almost fanatically tidy and have somehow amaged to turn up 20 minutes early to everything for as long I can remember I really hope you hire me and give me the chance to meet your pet. Although I personally feel that my dog, Layla, is the best dog in world - I'm sure your pet is the best too.
