About


In my early to mid adult life I was surrounded by lots of family members so there was always a variety of activities such as playing soccer, dancing, interaction with family and friends who ranged from new born to the elderly. I have always been a good listener and a person people like to reach out to talk to or a shoulder to lean on. I have looked after my own 3 children, 3 step-children and now my grandson. I also help my mother with things she is not able to do . This has helped me understand a range of personalities and feel good helping others. I have volunteered for over 2 years with an elderly lady in my community to keep her company, take her to the shops, play games or whatever it is she may need. I find this very rewarding and I have made a lovely friend out of it as well. I am a very empathetic, friendly and caring person, always willing to learn and get to know others whilst showing respect. I am very customer focused and that has been partially because of my personality and due to my working life and dealing with people face to face or on the phone on a daily basis. I type quick and am pretty good with technology, no expert but handy with it. I read people well and at times have reached out to them which later they have thanked me as it has helped them in some way. I am passionate about helping anyone who needs assistance to make improvements in their life. I enjoy salsa dancing, zumba, going to the beach either for a walk along the sand or in the water, I also like quite time as silence is food for my soul, I watch self help videos by motivational and spiritual speakers. Love dogs as I also find them therapeutic for my well-being.

Katherine has been with me for over 4mths now and I have found her the best one yet. Katherine attends all my dr's and spelalist appointments with me and take notes as I forget some things and rely on her for information. The shopping and cleaning is remarkable. I have had to rely on her more now as my physical and memory decline and even with helping me with the computer to do my enduring guardiaship power of attorney and my advance care planning re entre to an age care fercility when required. I would love to have her here every day but untill Age Care place me on a higher package thats not possible. I highly recommend her for any task that is required by any person wishing to stay in there own home as long as possible
