Open Natasha Cardinal's profile Veterinary Care Assistant I joined Bayswater in October 2024, driven by my lifelong passion for animals. Growing up surrounded by pets, from dogs to rabbits, I knew from an early age that I wanted to work with animals. Before joining Bayswater, I spent a few years working in rescue centers, gaining invaluable experience in caring for animals in need. I currently have two rescue dogs, a greyhound and a staffie, along with a rescue cat. My special interest in animal behavior motivates me to create a comfortable and soothing environment for the animals in our care. Outside of work, I love exploring new places and staying active, as well as studying for my canine behaviour diploma.
