Animal Caretaker Needed

Need animal caretaker (part-time job).

We need someone between 4-7 days per week to take care of the 501c3 rescue birds as well as the pet chinchillas, frogs, and chickens. The work totals about 6-8 hours per week. More than 8 hours of work is available if you wish to do extra chores.

Location is: 2 minutes east of 280, just off Alameda de las Pulgas, near Woodside high school.

4-day schedule option:
--> Once a week, do the main chores (cleaning flights and enclosures) over a period of 3-4 hours (from approximately noon-4pm).
--> 3 days a week (roughly every other day) spend about 1 hour doing food/water/cleaning chores (from approximately 7:30-8:30 am OR 7:30-8:30 pm).

7-day schedule option:
--> Same as above, but also including another 3 days a week of chores that only take about 15-30 minutes (from approximately 7:30-8:30 am OR 7:30-8:30 pm).

Extra hours of work (for example, yard work, and side chores) may be available if you are looking for additional work.

Looking for someone who can commit to work for at least 6 months, ideally at least 1 year.

• Must not be afraid to get dirty.
• Must love animals. Must be able to move 50 pounds.
• Must be extremely reliable and commit to the schedule, because the health of the animals will depend on you.
• May not be ideal for someone with allergies to animals or hay.

Pay depends on experience. Starting pay during training is $16-20/hr. Once trained and self-sufficient, pay may increase to $20-24/hr.

You may choose to work for the pay listed above for all work done, or you may choose to volunteer for the 501c3 bird rescue (volunteer hours for school, and a letter of recommendation may be provided to you at the completion of an internship), or you may choose a combination of volunteering with the rescues and payment for the pet chores.
