Woodend,North Canterbury

Summary

I am a mother of 5 children and have dedicated the last few years to raising my family after sadly losing my much-loved job at a rest home during covid. In that time, I have taken on teaching myself new skills and have made them work for myself and my family, However now that my children are older and my youngest is preparing for primary school, I feel like now would be the perfect opportunity for me finally do something for myself, I love to meet new people and keep myself busy. Before becoming a parent and during this time I have been in the hospitality industry which I feel I now have to move on from and gain even more skills. I am a wee bit of a neat person and perfectionist. I have a great attitude and take anything that comes my way.
