Animals often work on their own schedules and patience is key. This job is not all cute babies and glamour, it is mostly hard work. If selected, you will be presenting our animal ambassadors to the public throughout the day and must feel comfortable speaking in front of small-large crowds. You will also be providing general husbandry to our animal collection. We are currently looking for one part-time employee. A good work ethic, the ability to manage time well, a positive attitude, and attention to detail help to keep the animals AND the visitors happy.
