Rebecca Whitton
Morayfield,QLD
Summary
My name is Rebecca but people call me Bec. I’m 39 years young and a mother to a very independent 16 year old. I have been a support working just shy of a year. I live in Morayfield and have full availability. I have an ABN, full insurance and first aid/cpr getting done on Monday 16th September. I do not have hoist training but willing to learn. I myself also enjoy a very active lifestyle. I enjoy crafts and gardening in my spare time. Im 5’4 but I come with a lot of grit and determination to always better myself. I’m quite a bubbly person but also know when to be relaxed and calm. I originally worked in hospitality and retail since the ages of 16 but circumstances changed, made the big move to the Sunshine state and found what I feel is my calling. I love helping people and making people smile. I am always up for a challenge and always ready to learn. I enjoy cooking so meal prep is always something I love to help with.
