Career Break (Childcare)

I took a planned career break to focus on raising my children, during which I continued to develop transferable skills such as organisation, time management, and resilience. This period also strengthened my ability to multitask, communicate effectively, and adapt to changing situations—skills that are valuable in any workplace. I am now fully committed to returning to work and bringing my experience, reliability, and enthusiasm to a new role.
