Additional information:

With my self-employed experience I am able to work unsupervised given and explained the tasks required.

With living and working on a 5 star award winning, luxury holiday home I enjoy meeting and chatting to our guests also I started my working career as a secretary for an indoor market.

A positive attitude is a must with being amongst so many holiday makers.

With working amongst so many people and in my past for so many clients and being a Christian I have had to display integrity and honesty over the years.

Working with the public and helping out in church and moving into area's to adapt to working situations i.e. from the Midlands to East Devon and at present West Devon, Martyn and myself feel that we are flexible and adaptable.

During our 31 years of marriage Martyn and I have homed chickens and 2 dogs.

I enjoy volunteering my time to help others in the community, we both help in church and I am a Girl Guide assistant leader.

General domestic duties for individual clients including listening with a compassionate ear.

Caring, shopping, assisting outings for elderly.

Present position as Housekeeper and 27 years of bringing up a family during which time have owned 4 homes

I consider myself and my husband hardworking when having to turn around 5 luxury holiday homes in 5 hours.

My experience of self-employment enabled me to have to manage my time to suit the amount of clients.

I am self-motivated and am able to self-manage.

I enjoy fitting in and adapt to which ever situation occurs.

I have a 'can do' attitude and rise up to new challenges.
