Summary

I am a motivated and friendly worker with a flexible schedule, and I am willing to work weekends. Dependable and punctual with a clean driving record as well as a clean police record. I work collaboratively with team members, and provide excellent customer service.

I am now trying to shift from my career and move to a more people-based role. My days of lifting heavy carcasses easily are behind me.

I have worked in carer support for over 22 years, on and off. I've always called it my heart money, as it makes me happy to help those who need it.
