About Melanie

Hello buddies! I am Melanie Vendramin, an Italian student who just graduated and looking for a nice job in Gent and the neighbourhood! I love animals, I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs since when I was born, I am myself a mom of two beautiful and really sweet cats, but unfortunately, they live in Italy with my family. I would love to have the chance to take care and cuddle your little ones, animals are my life and the best thing in the world.

I assure you the maximum attention and love for your precious pets, I think that the time spent with animals is always the best time possible. I am a social and responsible person, and I've already been also the mom sitter of a sweet black cat, for my previous landlord. In the time I spent with Felix (this is her name) we create a special bond, which ended up with her sleeping with me every night, cuddles, a lot of food and sweet moments. If requested, I can ask my previous landlord for a reference.

There is no moment of my life during which I did not live with animals. I rescued a lot of abandoned cats in Italy, some of them became my babies, and some became babies of other lovely families. Animals are one of my passion. Plus, I graduated in developmental clinical psychology, so I have experience in the care of individuals, also children and people with physical and cognitive disabilities, this help me to acquire skills in the management of stressful situations and conflicts.

I have a cat who suffers from an epileptic crisis in Italy, and is staying with my family, so I have knowledge and experience in handling difficult situations and in oral medication. I have experience on taking care of other people animals, because I did it for friends, family and for a previous landlord, for which I babysit a cat for about 7 months.
