Alexandra,VIC
Summary
My partner and I moved to Alexandra from Melbourne in early 2017 as a tree change and to raise a family in the country.
I have worked in aged care for more than 8 years and now need something flexible to work around school hours.
I take pride in my attention to detail and my ability to work effectively in a team environment or on my own.
As my work experience demonstrates, I am able to work under pressure and to a consistently high standard. I am a caring, compassionate and gentle person but know when I need to be completely focused on the task at hand.
