A bit about the home

We have a small dog who is very fond of people. She can get a little excited and barks occasionally, so you should be comfortable with a dog.

In the room, our daughter has a terrarium with a snake. You don't have to take responsibility for it, but it's nice if you're comfortable with it being part of the home.

Does this sound like something for you?

Then we'd love to hear from you!

Please send a few words about yourself, a bit about any experience you have, and why you think this position is right for you.
