Summary

Warm, reliable, and customer-focused professional returning to the workforce following maternity leave. With a background in hospitality, retail-style service, and early childhood education, I bring excellent people skills, adaptability, and a strong work ethic. My experience as an educator and nanny has sharpened my ability to multitask, stay calm under pressure, and connect with people of all ages. These are skills I’m eager to bring to a fast-paced retail environment this Christmas season. I’m excited to rejoin a team, contribute with a positive attitude, and help create a great experience for every customer.
