Summary

I am very hardworking, dedicated to the tasks I am given and work with efficiency. I like to ensure all jobs I am given are done to a high standard and am well organised with how I work. I like to learn new things and I pick up processes well. I am well presented, have good communication skills, am polite and also punctual. I am good at working independently and on my own initiative but I also work well in a team. I like helping people and I love working with animals.


I enjoy travelling and going to new places and being outdoors. I am eager to face new challenges and experience new opportunities.


I am experienced in looking after and providing meals, medication, exercise and support to the pets that I look after within my current role.
