About

I am currently 25yrs old and have worked the last 3 years in a Lifestyle position in Aged care. Before that I worked as as an AIN for 5 years. I have worked with those living with a variety of mental and physical issues and have always found common ground with those I'm supporting and used this rapport to encourage partipation in their activities and interests. I thourougly enjoy the empowerment they receive with it. Inclusion is extremely important to me and I have always found a way to make an activity inclusive for all involved . This is where my creativeness shines. I love art and theatre and appreciate all genres of music. In my free time I spend it outdoors climbing, slacklining, camping and kayaking. I also love to snorkel, swim and hike. At home you will find me painting, drawing, gardening or cooking. With all these interests and hobbies I always find the common ground to build a good relationship on and my wide range of experiences have implanted other skills in me which have helped in unusual or high pressure situations.^& ^&If someone for example likes walking who had full mobility I would take them to local walking tracks and show them the wildlife. If they needed more assistance or was non ambulant I would take them to one of the wildlife parks around as they have facilities for wheelchairs and boarded pathways. During the walk I'd gage what animals or plants they are into and share my wealth of knowledge on Flora and Fauna in Sydney or take them on a sensory experience, crushing leafs of lemon myrtle, dipping feet in water and or smelling the flowers. If they had vision impairment and enjoyed walking I'd go for walks by the water as sound and smell is more intensified and its often very brightly lit. I would love to share craft projects . Id start by introducing the equipment and tools, I would demonstrate then provide 1on 1 assistance to complete the task. When in a group setting we would do everything in steps together after a demonstration. I would use my skills in conversation to entertain the group while I provide 1on1 support to those who get stuck along the way. ^&
