Skills

My part time job at Carol Bonnie Dogs has taught me to be patient and kind with sometimes very distressed dogs To communicate well with fellow workers and sometimes difficult clients, especially when they realize the cost of a groom! I'm able to plan and prioritize the work for the day I'm always punctual, organized and wear a smile on my face

I have a massive love of dogs and as a family will have seven which I love to walk, help groom and keep in tip top condition I have witnessed the birth of several litters of puppies with amazement and joy and I've always calm under pressure and not at all squeamish I keep myself fit and strong by going to the gym which helps me lift various sizes of dogs

I have 100% attendance record at King James School and have a wonderful circle of friends I'm a very caring, nurturing person and I like to make sure everyone is included
