What I'm looking for
I am a goal-oriented individual with over eight years of proven experience in customer service, childcare, hospitality, and administrative support.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Relief Nursery Assistant and Hospitality Supervisor, where I developed my ability to deliver high-quality service while maintaining a keen eye for safeguarding and safety standards. My qualifications in administrative procedures, safeguarding, and first aid further strengthen my ability to manage responsibilities professionally. I am passionate about delivering exceptional service and committed to continuous personal and professional growth.
