Hello, my name is Elsie Waind and I am 18 years old with a passion for animals. I am a very loving and fun person who would not only care for your pet but would love to develop a bond with them. I am extremely hardworking and would be willing to put lots of time and effort in your animal to ensure they got everything they needed. My confidence around animals is very good as I have lots of experience working with a variety of species. I love working with them- rewarding them when necessary and correcting unwanted behaviours. I have lots of experience with dogs as 7 years ago, I adopted my best friend. Cleo is my rescue dog who I have trained myself as she came with no manners and anxiety. With time, patience and lots of training she has overcome this and is now the sweetest girl who loves attention and walks. Along with this, I have just completed a 2 year Animal Management Level 3 course at Hillsborough College. I have received a Merit overall which i am so pleased with. This course involved me working with a variety of small animals including reptiles such as tortoises and bearded dragons, chickens and ducks and small mammals like ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits and chinchillas. My personal favourite was the degus. I worked with them a lot and even trained them to jump through a hoop. In addition, I work with horses. Horses are my biggest passion in the world. Working with large animals like horses has helped my confidence with animals as they can be very skittish and excitable. I am a very important and trusted member of staff and I often are asked to handle and look after the more difficult and challenging horses showing I am capable of working with animals that may have behavioural issues or ones with less manners.
