As written by her...

I am interested in nature and animals and will always take the opportunity to watch a David Attenborough documentary, as well as having our own supply of animals (2 dogs, and a horse). I am a very social person, and now that I have finished my degree, I take every opportunity to go out and have fun. I can get socially anxious however, so will need some gentle encouragement when meeting new people. Saying this, I like to go to the pub, theatre, cinema, to eat out and to see friends. I equally like just staying in and watching a bingeable series. Looking my best is important to me, so a willingness to do hair and makeup is required. I have finally finished the four years of my Zoology degree at the University of Reading and am looking for my next adventure career wise.

As I need someone on call 24 / 7, the day is split up into two 12-hour shifts. During the Day Shift, I will eventually need help travelling to the workplace as well as help once were there.
