Profile:

An experienced Senior Health Care Assistant, Nanny, waitress and bar person, also experienced in fashion retail who has been able to utilize my skills during my overseas working holiday prior to returning to NZ to further my qualifications.

I have worked previously as a Healthcare Assistant and I possess a natural ability to relate to children of all ages.  I have a friendly and outgoing nature with a highly professional manner.

I am well organised, enabling me to make deadlines without supervision and to remain calm and focused on the task at hand.
