About ME!
I originally come from Japan and I have been in Australia for 17 years. I used to live in Gold Coast, Yulara (Ayers Rock Resort), Darwin (NT), Hobart (TAS) and Brisbane.
I live with my husband and my high school aged daughter plus a small dog.
I graduated Certificate III in Hospitality Commercial Cookery in Darwin and used to work SKY CITY Casino Hotel Darwin and Sails in the Desert Hotel but after I moved to Brisbane, it was hard to find cooking job with a little baby.
My husband works a flexible foster therefore I needed to find school hours work.
I worked as a house cleaner for 10 years by myself. I have many lovely customers.
Finally my daughter reached high school age.
I would like to get back to working in the food industry.
I am a hard worker, stay healthy and punctually.
My hobbies are going to gym classes and walking along the beach with my dog and family.
I am looking forward to seeing you to talk in more detail.
