About


Helping you fills my cup ☺️. Sharing my skills, hobbies, and creativity. Alongside my ability to be diligent in caring for and supporting others as a career, is the most rewarding opportunity that I could have ever wished for. I want to help others, I thrive on seeing people obtain there goals and dreams. Wether it be something small and quietly meaningful, or big and excitingly conjured up. I am an all rounder and can compassionately listen and relate to different personalities, there experiences and needs. I am able to provide support, transport and deep to general cleans for those in need. I like so many different things and am always interested in new ideas. Some things I enjoy are. - Outdoor activities, Fishing is a weekly event in my household, Bushwalking, Exploring new places, lookouts, Fresh air and sunshine as we all know are good for the soul. I have a prospecting stick and enjoy seeking out and digging up buried treasures. Particularly old coins as I collect them and follow numismatics and attend ANDA fairs. - Sport like most Coasties Soccer is a big deal in my household, but I enjoy all sports, I do feel great after a daily gym session, I have grown up on horses competing in barrel runs, I am a capable amateur at darts, Pool Tables, and ice skating. I have skiied, surfed and even played squash. I like to swing at the park and throw a football. There isn't much I wouldn't try sport wise. - Reading and Journalling, I am a fan of writing notes, sorting ideas and love a good novel. Bryce Courtney and Tim Winton are my favourites but I have read a lot of different things. Including the Bible and dictionaries before technology was a thing. 😉 I have a local library membership and adore the person who created the concept of the little boxes where you put books to swap for free. - Art and craft, I have done everything from Lead Lighting, Pottery, Painting and Sewing. Being creative is such a great trait to have and I love creatively planning a concept and seeing how it turns out. I also enjoy attending local galleries and outdoor sculpture events. - Foodies! I cook alot of food, baking most morning for my family of all boys. Creating different healthy meals each night. I watch food videos/shows and salivate over exciting food concepts and I love to check out and support new local food venues. - Water activities, wether it's canoeing, whale watching, boating, skipping stones, touring oyster farms. Water is so calming and I enjoy being around it. - History, now this is an absolute passion of mine. I have spent unprecedented amounts of hours scouring the National Australian Archives, Trove, Shipping Registers, Births Deaths and Marriages, National Library of Australia and sites such as My heritage and Ancestry documenting my family history and researching historical documents for others as well. I like to attend local historical sites and find the lives of those who came before us and shaped us fascinating. I attend museums wether it be general, maritime, war or old jails to awe at relics of times gone by and like to take my time perusing everything historical. - Animals, I have pets some small, some large. I have grown up with sheep, horses, cows, goannas, Emus, kangaroos, camels, wild pigs just to name a few. I have had and still have some memberships with the Sydney and Western Sydney Zoo, Australian Reptile Park and Sydney Aquarium. I live on a property and bird watching is something I could do for hours, waking up to black cockatoos is an everyday occurrence, king fishers with turquoise wings, king parrots and even an odd hummingbird are often sightings. Currently I enjoy the locals of my yard including micro bats, lace monitors, land Mullets, echidnas, snakes.. yes even blind ones would you believe. I have a soft spot for animals and learning about protecting habitats and supporting there futures. - Computers and Technology, I am well versed in most things technology, capable of using programs, software and even gaming. - Gardening such as the planting and growing of Flowers, Succulents and Australian Natives. Planning gardens and even weeding is therapeutical to me. I can whipper snip, mow, hedge and use a shovel. - Music, I am such an eclectic when it comes to play lists. Listening to everything from Nat King Cole, ACDC, Kasey Chambers to Xavier Rudd. I have attended numerous concerts, festivals, plays, musicals and even a few operas. - Wellbeing, this is an important one. The most important one, mindfulness, self care and mental health are so important and I like to work on these everyday. I suppose I should add board games in there, uno, puzzle books and sudoku are relaxing Sunday morning activities for me with a cup of tea of course. I could have us here all week with my interests so I better stop. As I said at the start I am an all rounder and am up for a bit of everything when it comes to activities. I am bubbly and outgoing, I can also be quiet and calm. I like to make others feel comfortable around me and adjust the mood as needed. I am open to learning new skills and happy to discuss whatever attributes a client would need. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any queries you may have.
