Summary
As an experienced midwife ,I have had the honor of welcoming hundreds of tiny bundles into the world.
This career has taught me resilience, compassion, empathy, problem solving, escalation skills and working with a team just to name a few highlights.
In 13 years of NHS healthcare working, I have helped provide care for a diverse community and enjoyed every day. I have undertaken additional training on neurodivergence, mental health, equality, and many more.
Although I have had no direct dog training, I have owned dogs all my life, going to classes and having well trained and loving dogs. I work alongside my mum in her dog walking service, and am very confident and happy around dogs and animals.
I am also the mum of a neurodivergent son, navigating life one day at a time. He has a therapy dog at school, which has helped tremendously. I have a lot of passion for these incredible animals, and would like to return the favour to other families in need.
I am very keen to learn new skills. I am happy to drive and have a full clean licence.
