About


I love getting to know new people. I am a great listener and enjoy a good laugh. I love to travel, and that includes camping in my caravan with my hubby in the bush or travelling overseas. I have travelled overseas many times and enjoy learning about different places, people and cultures. I regularly travel to Cambodia where I do voluntary work, supporting women who run charitable organizations there. I have worked long term in the family support sector, assisting families with parenting and mentoring young people between 8 and 15 years of age. I enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I love teaching people new skills and seeing them come to life when they try something they haven't done before or achieve a personal goal. I love doing anything creative and love being near the water. I could teach someone how to make their own cards for friends and family, how to paint a simple painting or basic sewing skills, such as how to sew on a button or put up a hem. I also love to shop and have a talent for helping people buy suitable clothes on a budget. I am currently studying part-time..
