Live in Beaverlodge

I came to Canada  from Czech Republic in 2004 with my husband and my son. We live in Beaverlodge ever since.

 I am a mother of 4 children and one little dog.  

I work in Hythe Continuing Care  Center full time and I love my job. Last August I got hurt on a job. I sustained a shoulder injury. I am almost healed now, but the work load in Hythe is very heavy, physically and mentally. It takes toll on ones body.

  I am looking for a work closer to home, that is less physically demanding.

I am very responsible person, with strong  work ethics, compassionate and understanding to people and their problems. I am willing to learn new things and promise to do my best

I love the small town living and want to make a difference in our community.
