Summary
Dedicated and detail-oriented professional with a strong background in childcare, retail, and customer service, now seeking to transition into bookkeeping, payroll, and/or administration. With experience as a Childcare Educator, I have developed excellent organizational skills, accuracy in record-keeping, and the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment. My time at Bunnings equipped me with strong customer service expertise, handling customer orders, processing invoices, and maintaining accurate documentation—skills directly transferable to finance and administrative functions. Known for reliability, clear communication, and a strong work ethic, I bring a combination of interpersonal strengths and administrative capabilities that will support efficient business operations and high-quality client service.
