Chris in VA Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 (I have the hardest time coming up with catchy titles for these posts...) I have been offically hired as a dog walker with a local company, and have spent the last week training! I'm walking a bunch of different pooches--two bassets, 4 labs, a tiny puffball of a thing, a dog with cancer, a black Scottie, and more...It's been fun! Tonight my knees hurt, tho! I had 4 30 min walks and a 15 min puppy play date today-- Whew! So different from preschool (brick and mortar) teaching--No lesson plans, no making materials, no supervision, no parents (they aren't home, usually). Wish me luck!

Belacqua Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Good luck to you (and your knees). All hail the Queen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 That sounds like fun. A friend of mine had a business she called "Other Mother". She house sat, but didn't stay in the house, just did daily checks. Walked the dogs, fed pets, watered plants, picked up mail etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted April 15, 2011 Author Share Posted April 15, 2011 Dd brought a "Career Day" sheet home from ps a couple of days ago. They want parents to come in and have a little place at a table and talk about their career with the 6th graders...you can hand out little samples of what you work with...
