Balfour

Summary

Over the last 7 years i have dedicated myself to being a full-time mother, as well as helping on the farm, doing some child minding and volunteer work.

I have not listed all my work history before then but before having children i worked as a Sales Rep in the Southland Otago area while trying to have a family. Before this i owned my own business, a retail shop in Gore which i closed to pursue my dream of having a family.

Earlier on i was in charge of the ladieswear department in H & J Smith Gore.

Working as a Sales Representative and being self-employed has given me the skills to work independently, self motivate and create goals and task and carry them out independently. I can also work in a team well from all the volunteer work i have and continue to commit my time too.

Doing different types of childcare over the last 10 years has helped me with the ability to create safe and stimulating environments for children. Developing age-appropriate activities that foster growth and development.
