Summary

I am African, precisely from the Congo. I speak French, English and African. For almost a year, I was able to take care of my kids while still maintaining my house duties which are cooking, cleaning, laundry. I was able to multitask on a daily basis. It was a very challenging time for me, cooking and watching the kids at the same time, having to manage time, work under stress, adapt to the new lifestyle of a mother and pay attention to details. Going through the motherhood challenge made me realize that I am stronger than I think, I am definitely intelligent, companionate, patient, perseverant... I will make a great customer service, a great sale representative... I am definitely open to learn new skills and adapt. I can do anything I set my mind on. I can do anything. I will definitely be a great fit in your company if you give me a chance.

Hardworking employee with customer service, multitasking and time management abilities. Devoted to giving every customer a positive and memorable experience.

Highly-motivated employee with desire to take on new challenges. Strong worth ethic, adaptability and exceptional interpersonal skills. Adept at working effectively unsupervised and quickly mastering new skills.
