Summary

As someone deeply passionate about animals and people alike, my journey has led me to become a trusted Doggy Daycare assistant. Developing my administrative roles and office management, I've seamlessly been able to support business leaders with my strong organizational and communication skills. But it's the moments spent ensuring the safety and happiness of our furry guests that truly light up my day. Whether I'm managing playgroups or administering meals and medications, each task is approached with a profound understanding of dog behaviour and a genuine commitment to providing exceptional care.


As a waitress, my motivation stems from a genuine desire to create memorable dining experiences. My engaging personality and eagerness to learn allow me to anticipate and fulfill the needs of every customer, fostering an atmosphere of warmth and enjoyment.

In both front-of-house and back-of-house roles, I've proven to be a focused and hardworking team member, earning praise for my solid attendance record and unwavering dedication to delivering exceptional customer service. And drawing from years of experience in babysitting, I've honed my communication skills to ensure the safety and routine of every child under my care, prioritizing their well-being above all else.
