About

I have great empathy and a cheeky sense of humor. I have three teenage kids and have learnt empathize and listen to them and tailor my guidance for them accordingly. My elderly father died after a long illness 4 years ago and I have learnt to manage and de-risk potential problems that elderly/frail people encounter in their lives. I own a Landrover Discovery Sport which is a large SUV and great to get from A to B in. I run my own rideshare business (Freshwater rides) from this car I am quite practical and enjoy a challenge. I love golf, snowboarding and water sports. I am a volunteer surf lifesaver at South Curl Curl beach I am new to this game but not new to the caring game in general. So if you'd like to meet up and have a chat i'm very happy to do that before locking anything in.
