San Remo

Summary

Hey there!

I’ve recently moved from a small coastal town in Tasmania to a bigger coastal area, San Remo of New South Wales.

And I’m learning a lot of new challenges along with this move.

I’ve got two kids on school so I’m looking for work that I can do around school hours.

I’m a keen worker with a bubbly personality, a love to meet new people and learn new skills.

I’ve been a housekeeper since I was 18 at the same place. During this time there has been 3 new owners and all of them have helped me grow and evolve.

I’m loyal, kind, considerate, dedicated, reliable, hard working and professional with a big personality ready to help and learn new skills.

I’ve got extensive experience at George’s Bay Apartments, excelling in guest relations and meticulous cleaning techniques. Recognized for enhancing guest satisfaction through exceptional customer service and efficient room turnaround. Proven ability to maintain high cleanliness standards while adhering to health and safety protocols, ensuring a welcoming environment for all guests.
