Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate student in my final year of a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) degree. I have a passion for helping people, which is proven in my current part-time job as a nanny for three children. I am a skilled multitasker with a superior work ethic and good teamwork, problem-solving, and organisational skills. I am willing to take on any task to help the team. I am a reliable and dedicated team player with a hardworking and resourceful approach. Being born and raised on a sheep and beef farm in rural Southland, I believe that I have gained qualities that would make me a great candidate to be a nurse.
