🌇 Evening shift: 5:00-6:00pm for evening animal chores
✈️ Weekend Flexibility
Before your 2 days off, you can choose to complete all your hours during the morning shift if you'd like extra time to prepare or travel for your weekend adventures!

Your hands and heart will participate in:
🐾 Loving care of our animals (feeding, hydration, cleaning enclosures)
🌿 Cultivation and care of plants and vegetables
🔧 Creative maintenance of our spaces
