Summary
I’m an enthusiastic beauty professional with a Certificate in Beauty Services from TasTAFE and hands-on salon experience in eyelash extensions, lash lifting, tinting, facial waxing, and brow shaping/tinting. I have also worked as a babysitter for two autistic children, supporting daily routines, hygiene, meals, transport, and behaviour management, which helped me develop patience, adaptability, and strong communication skills.
