About


My passion for serving the community and contributing positively by utilising my knowledge and skills has given me the drive to work as a community pharmacist since 2011. However, facilitating the sales of pharmaceutical drugs failed to provide the personal fulfilment and job satisfaction that I am seeking in my career. In 2021, I embarked on a new journey as an NDIS support worker at Like Family Home Care. I enjoy supporting my clients and have found a sense of purpose in providing social support services. Growing up, I took on the caregiver role and advocated for my family members because we were first-generation immigrants from a non-English-speaking background. I am passionate about using my skills to empower people to regain their health and a sense of autonomy, so they can enjoy life and partake in activities they love. I have experience in skill training, disability support, transport, light domestic assistance, meal preparation, and social support. I am working towards becoming a Primary School Teacher and can provide tutoring services in Mathematics, English, and Science, if needed. I enjoy baking and am passionate about finding simple, healthy recipes on YouTube, which I love to share and enjoy with others. I also have some training in singing and playing musical instruments (keyboard), and I would love to share the joy and happiness that music can bring :)

I absolutely loved Carmen and never have met someone who is so gentle and so caring. At the end of the shift she has asked me “Is there anything else you need Mrs Condon?” and that really made my day. Carmen is a really lovely lady and really big thumbs up for Carmen from Mrs Condon.
