About

Honestly, what motivated me to become a Social Carer is seeing the difference that small acts of kindness can make in someone’s life. Growing up, I used to help my grandparents a lot — from simple things like making them tea to helping them move around or just keeping them company. I saw how much it meant to them, and it stayed with me. When I moved to Australia, I wanted a job that actually meant something — not just clocking in and out, but something that lets me help people feel seen, supported, and valued. Being a Social Carer gives me that. It’s more than a job to me — it’s about building trust, showing respect, and helping people live with dignity. I think I’m good at it because I’m patient, empathetic, and people naturally feel comfortable around me. I don’t just do tasks — I listen, I connect. Whether it’s helping someone with daily routines or just being someone they can talk to, I’m there for them. And honestly, that makes me feel proud of what I do every single day. I’m really passionate about helping people and making a positive impact wherever I can — that’s one of the big reasons I chose to work in care. I enjoy connecting with people from all walks of life and learning from their experiences. I think just being able to bring a smile to someone’s face or make their day a little easier is something I really value. In terms of skills, I’m a good communicator and a great listener. I’m also pretty calm and patient, which helps a lot when supporting people in different situations. I’m confident working independently but I also enjoy being part of a team where everyone’s working toward the same goal. I’ve also picked up skills from past jobs like time management, problem-solving, and keeping things organised even when things get a bit hectic. Outside of work, I enjoy playing football, going to the gym, and sometimes just chilling with friends or watching movies. I’m also really into music — I find it’s a great way to unwind. And when I have time, I like learning new things, especially around tech and how it’s changing the world. Yes — I’d just like to say that I’m someone who genuinely cares about people. I’m reliable, respectful, and always willing to learn. I may be young, but I bring a strong work ethic and a positive attitude to everything I do. My background in disability and aged care has taught me how important empathy and patience are, and I always try to bring those qualities into my work. I’m also adaptable — I can stay calm under pressure and handle new situations with confidence. Most importantly, I’m someone who takes pride in doing meaningful work and being part of a team that’s making a real difference in people’s lives.
