About Iris

Hi! My name is Iris. I'm a huge animal lover! I hold a PhD in Molecular and Cell Biology from UC Berkeley and have been a research scientist and science educator for over 18 years. Currently, I am on summer break from teaching and am available to provide childcare and pet care services. Growing up on a farm, I had the joy of caring for a variety of animals. For the past 5 years, I've volunteered with an animal rescue organization, where I provide emergency medical care for critical cases. This experience has honed my skills in handling a wide range of animal care situations. I now live in Somerset, New Jersey, where I share my home with three lovely cats. My life has always revolved around nurturing and caring, whether it's for animals or children. In addition, I am CPR AED and First Aid Certified. I am meticulous in following care instructions, and will make sure your child or pet is safe. I look forward to meeting you and learning how I can help. Iris
