To Whom It May Concern:

I grew up caring for puppies and dogs in our home in the Philippines, along with many fond memories of my early childhood years with two older brothers and an older sister.

I also helped care for my nephew's dog in Massachusetts for over 11 years, full-time at first then part-time occasionally, since I moved to Connecticut where I worked as a full-time nanny for newborn infants and young children.

Caesar Octavius was only 6 months old in the year 1999 when I started to care for him. Caesar was a beautiful, adorable Bichon Frise who was anything but a Bichon. He was no ordinary dog, he probably thought he was "The Caesar", really, as tough and fierce as he was, he only weighed about 18 lbs. Bichon Frise are one of the highiest maintenance dogs known; so I made sure to brush out his coat often to keep his longer coat free of mats and tangles, took him for extended brisk daily walk/exercise and potty breaks. He enjoyed and looked forward to his daily walks, gave him a good run in the house ( he was superactive and required a lot of attention), and played doggie toys with him.

Caesar had a doggie best friend and who passed on as well, his name is Frasier, beloved by all. He was a Jack Russell breed, intelligent super playful. He was my parent's family pet and I helped care for him as well occasionally.

I also cared for two dogs while I became a full-time nanny for twin girls from newborn to 6 years of age in Unionville, Connecticut beginning in the year 2004. I took Mindy ( schnauzer) and Bogey (shih Tzu) out for their daily walks, fed them on time and played with them as well. They were wonderful family pets, loved by the family I worked for. When the twin girls reached the age of 5, they were walking the dogs with me!

Occasionally, I help care for my sister's new pet dogs. They are Yorkshire Terrier, and unfortunately, they are blind dogs due to old age. They are the sweetest.

I am seeking a part-time work as a dog walker or pet sitter. I am wonderful with pets and as well as with children.

Thank you for your consideration.
