My name is Michelle. I'm 38 years old and a mother of 5. I haven't had a paid job for the last 15 years, however I have done lots of volunteer work and jobs on the side such as cleaning, pet sitting (paid) and what's listed in my experience. I haven't had the time with kids in school, extracurriculars for the kids and family commitments to hold a fulltime or partime job. I am a very reliable, fast learner who is willing to learn any new skills and any new job roles or positions. I also have a full car licence and my own vehicle.
