I have been self-employed while raising my children and am now ready to return to the workforce as they have started school. I’m a reliable and hardworking person who enjoys keeping busy and helping others. I’m keen to take on a driving, cleaning, or kitchen hand role and am available full time, ideally around school hours. I work well with others, enjoy meeting new people, and take pride in doing a good job.
