Profile-
An enthusiastic, reliable and committed individual with experience of childcare, retail and administration. Currently working in London as a Sole Charge Nanny and relocating to Preston in July 2010. I possess a strong academic background with both a GCSE and A Level in Mathematics, which is a particular strength. Hardworking and able to prioritise and work under pressure I am now looking for a role within a well established organisation where I can build a career.
