About me

Work and life

My name is Irene.

I’m working from home full time (37h / week) in data science, online marketing and as head of our content team for jobchannel ag (Swiss-based online job searching platform company). I’m listed under the jobchannel ag team here: jobchannel.ch/team.

I live in the centre of Epsom, on The Parade, near Ashley Centre.

I was born in Switzerland and I have been living in England since 2007, and since 2018 I have lived in Epsom. I am currently the owner of 2 cats (Blaxy and Floofs) which were born and raised at home and which I love them to bits. Growing up I was always a bird girl. I had budgies, and later canaries for as long as I can remember. I was introduced to the joy of living with cats in 2013 and although (small) birds will always be a favourite animal of mine, I prefer cats as pets, this is because birds are pretty much impossible to cuddle!

Looking after cats and other pets

Previously also active as a pet sitter on a pet sitting platform from July 2019 to May 2025, so far I have been looking after more than 35 different cats, 1 budgie, 1 guinea pig, fish, 2 geckos, 2 bunnies, rats, and 3 chickens.

In my youth, I have been pet (and plant) sitting for neighbours and friends. Additionally, as a teenager, I spent some time volunteering at the Swiss equivalent of the RSPB where I helped looking after injured wild birds.

Areas covered

I focus on Epsom, Epsom Downs and Ashtead, but I will consider anything up to 25 minutes cycling distance, that is about 3 mile radius from the centre of Epsom (Epsom, Epsom Downs, Ashtead, Stoneleigh, Ewell, Tadworth).

Note that I rely on my folding e-bike (and sometimes public transport) to get to your place.
