Summary

Hello, my name is Zoe Barson and I am 19 years of age. I would describe myself as hardworking, enthusiastic, observant, vivacious, and ambitious. I enjoy meeting new people and working well with others. I started to realize i had these values from the early age of 11 years old when i created my own business cleaning for others and helping them with looking after their homes. From a very early age i know that the best thing for me is to explore new things and give it everything I've got and a smile :)

I have had many experience with early childhood care, hospitality, retail and bartending.
