Brittany Newman
Balingup,WA
Summary
Hello!
My name is Brittany and I'm 26 years old, I've lived in Bridgetown since I was 9 years old apart from a couple of years away while I was travelling in England/ Scotland. We have just recently bought our first home in Balingup. I have a beautiful little girl who is currently in Kindy in Bridgetown and my husband is a local bricklayer.
I have over 9 years experience in the hospitality industry and over 5 years of hands on coffee making experience.
I also have 2 years of experience in childcare which I have loved, it's so special to form such positive and nurturing relationships with both the children and parents.
I pride myself with always being on time and looking presentable for my job, im a fast learner and always willing to try better myself with further training.
