Summary
I am a dedicated and hardworking professional with a background as a children's nurse in the UK, currently on a year-long career break to travel and experience life in Australia. My experience in healthcare has given me excellent skills in teamwork, communication, and adaptability, which I am eager to apply in new roles such as nannying, hospitality, or cleaning. I thrive in fast-paced environments, have a strong work ethic, and take pride in delivering high-quality service in any job I undertake. Reliable, friendly, and quick to learn, I am looking for opportunities that allow me to contribute positively while embracing new challenges during my time in Australia.
