Mrs Tara Tunmore

I am a caring, friendly and reliable individual with previous experience working in care and cleaning roles. I take pride in being hardworking, organised and approachable, and I work well both independently and as part of a team. Through my previous roles, I have developed a strong awareness of cleanliness, hygiene, attention to detail and the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment for others.

For the past several years, I have been home educating my two children alongside running a small vintage-selling business from home. Home education has required patience, planning, organisation, adaptability and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities day-to-day. Alongside this, buying and selling vintage items involves sourcing stock, cleaning and preparing items for sale, photographing and listing products online, communicating with customers, packaging orders and managing records and accounts.

These experiences have strengthened by time management, self-motivation, customer service and practical problem-solving skills. As a mother and former carer, I understand the importance of kindness, respect, confidentiality and creating a clean, calm and welcoming environment. I am now looking for part-time work of up to 24 hours per week over two days, ideally including one weekday and a Saturday, within a housekeeping, cleaning or care-related setting.
