I find this work to be fulfilling and important, using my skills and natural attributes while presenting opportunities for continual learning.
In the past, I have worked in various fast-paced environments, including theatre and catering, which have required stamina, practical problem-solving, and the ability to think on my feet, as well as housekeeping skills in cooking, cleaning, washing, and ironing (as a wardrobe mistress).
Whilst working as a home carer, I have gained valuable experience and training in practical skills such as manual handling, personal care, and accurate record keeping, all within a tight time schedule.
I consider myself to be discreet, flexible, and kind, with an open mind. Although I love a chat, I am fairly quiet in temperament. I take direction well and can also work on my own initiative to do what needs to be done.
Outside of work, I am interested in the natural world and the benefits of connecting with it, nutrition, and the role food plays in keeping us well and nurturing us at different times of life. I also enjoy textiles, sewing, reading, and keeping up with current affairs. Gardening and cooking for myself and others are additional passions of mine.
Thank you for looking, and please feel free to contact me with any questions.
