About


I’m a dedicated and compassionate care worker who provides support and care to aged people, youth & individuals with disabilities. I have a passion for making a positive impact on the lives of others, I have gained essential skills through my years of hands-on experience. Having a background in Security, personal driver, Bus Operations Manager, and carer for family members & taking people with disabilities on outings, I understand the importance of fostering independence and creating enjoyable and enriching experiences. Whether it's a trip to the shopping centre, a museum visit, or a community event, I am committed to ensuring that everyone under my care not only receives the necessary assistance but also can engage in meaningful and enjoyable activities. In addition to my hands-on expertise, I’m an emergency foster carer with the Department of Community and Justice (DCJ). This role showcases resilience, adaptability, and commitment to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in Emergency crises. I bring a unique blend of empathy, organizational skills, and a positive attitude to whichever role I’m doing. I’m not just a caregiver but a trusted companion on the journey to improving the health and happiness of others. I've also been doing Acting & Extra work as a hobby since 2010 which can be viewed on my site. www.starnow.com/johnchristopher1 My passions include helping others and making a meaningful difference in their lives. I’m focused on enhancing the well-being of individuals in vulnerable situations, advocating for their rights, and fostering a sense of dignity and respect. My skills include empathy, patience, and strong interpersonal communication. I excel in problem-solving, crisis intervention, and providing emotional support. In terms of my hobbies, I enjoy activities that promote wellness, such as meditation, which can help me maintain my own mental health. Volunteering, participating in community service projects, and engaging in continuous learning about social issues.
