Hi, my name is Meredith, I have been a disability care worker for many years with a very wide range of disabilities. I listen to what the client wants and what their goals are. I believe anyone is more capable of than what they think and it is up to a team of caring people to find this path. Over the years I have obtained a number of clients who have me down as a preferred carer and have now requested for me to go private so I can continue their services. My goals in any service is for a smile from the client and a sense of achievement. All of my clients have achieved their goals and all have a much better self awareness and confidence than when I first started the service. The key is to listen and understand what the client really wants. The carers role is to support the client to their wanted goals - within reason. I do not believe in doing everything for a client, I would rather let them do what they can for themselves and when they need assistance, then I will help them and together we will find a way for them to do this activity for themselves. I also do volunteer work with the State Emergency Services in remote areas in welfare type roles and I am a Cub Scout Leader. I am also a keen traveller A favourite quote of mine is: If you have a desire to achieve something for yourself, there is a path. It is up to us to find it

We are very happy with Meredith and the wonderful support and friendship she gives to our Son, Jono. We are grateful that she can help us to keep Jono able to cope as well as he does with our support and Meredith's care, understanding, and support. Jono does find life difficult and does not like change but it has made a difference to Jono and Bruce ( My husband) and myself having Meredith in Jono's program. Meredith is very capable and has had a lot of experience. . Thank you Meredith,. Best wishes, Glenys York..
