Summary

I have always been a carer, whether it was children or animals. I have had a passion for animals ever since I can remember. I have 7 of my own ranging from dogs and cats to a rabbit and lizards. I have decided to dive deep into what I really want to do in life and that is to care for our animals. Their welfare means the world to me. I started with my cert 2 in animal care then went on to do my cert 3 which I am almost finished with, I would absolutely love to do my cert 4 in vet nursing and get more knowledge under my belt. Since this course i have become obsessed with learning about all things animals and I don't want to stop here.


As I am a 30 year old single mother I would love if we could arrange placement to be on a Saturday. I understand that is not possible everywhere but with work and my 2 days of tafe I cannot find another day that I could complete work placement on. If you would consider me for this I would be forever grateful and it would help me fulfil my passion in vet nursing. I would be happy to come meet you in person if you wish.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through my resume and I really hope you take me into consideration, I won't disappoint.
