About

I love helping people, especially supporting people becoming independent! I have had a lot of experience in taking care of people, as my late brother was a substance abuser, and my father was a disabled gentleman. Add to this, my mother was diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic. Born to Turkish parents, and being educated in Australia through to Year 11 and completing high school in Türkiye, I am fluent in reading, writing and speaking both English and Turkish. I was born in Springvale, Victoria. My first experience in looking after troubled youth was with my brothers and the youth that frequented our local mosque. This then extended to taking care of my aging father, who has acquired a workplace injury during 1985. I was his mouth, hands and feet for the last 15 years. I would go to his house everyday to make sure he took his medications. This was not without its challenges, as he could get grumpy and refuse at times. Listening to his gripes would allow me to address most issues he had, that I could, which in turn would more often than not translate into him beginning to take his medications once more. Growing up as a person that loves helping others, has further opened my heart up to aiding those that would seek it. I know that everyone has a story and am interested to listen without judgement and meet and connect with different people.^& ^&As only one skill/hobby is requested, I choose Watching Movies to give as my example. I like watching movies and sitting down afterwards and discussing about it. The cinematography, visual effects, storyline, acting, amongst other points regarding the movie. I find it a great discussion piece, if the other party is interested in discussing the various aspects of the movie, and have found that some great insights can be gleaned from both parties, regarding their worldview.^&
