Summary
When reviewing my CV, you may notice some gaps in my employment history. I’m happy to explain these further if needed. Becoming a mum has been the greatest gift, and for many years I chose to focus my time and energy on raising my children, including supporting my autistic son. With my children close in age, it was sometimes challenging to maintain consistent employment that suited our family life. Now that my children are older and the cost of living continues to grow, I’m excited and motivated to fully return to the workforce and pursue a long-term career. While it has been some time since I last worked, I am very eager to learn, grow, and develop my skills in all areas. Caring for others comes naturally to me. I genuinely love helping people, and I bring a warm, honest, bubbly, and compassionate personality to my work. This opportunity represents an important step in fulfilling my long-term career pathway.
