I am a hard-working and responsible individual who has previously been very dedicated to various career roles. However, a family military move to Wiltshire, and a the decision to raise my two girls led to a career break but I am now more than ready and keen to regain my career.

Despite this career break, my chosen path has allowed me to gain many worthwhile and useful skills and many positive attributes. I am happy and willing to retrain and am looking forward to being successful in the workplace once more.

January 2018 – Present

Parent, homemaker and childminder

Although not actual employment, I feel the past year a half of my time spent in Wiltshire is noteworthy.

For the past 9 months I have taken care of my Godson, as well as my own two children, whilst my friend returned to work. Although not officially a childminder, I have taken this role seriously and have become an educator to three young children under five, who all have a passion for outdoor learning and exploring. I am responsible for the emotional well-being of the children and have had many experiences in conflict resolution and communication management. Children are mini-adults and I believe I could carry these skills and experiences forward into the workplace.

Moving to Wiltshire was a huge move for our family and it meant living many miles from family and friends. I have raised my children often for long periods of time on my own, which has made me extremely resilient. I am financially savvy and have the responsibilities of taking care of the running of the house independently.

A lack of support network in Wiltshire meant I needed to use my interpersonal and communication skills quickly and I have formed lasting relationships. Again, this is something I would take with me into the workplace.

Hobbies and Interests

I enjoy spending time with my family; exploring and adventuring to find new places. I like to cook and go running.

Previous working commitments
