About
Hello! My name is Atlanta, I'm very friendly and easy going with a positive outlook on life. I love going for walks, baking, standup comedy, movies, playing board/card games, trivia (although I'm awful at it!), making soap, seeing musical theatre/plays and checking out local eateries. I'm also a Western Bulldogs fan (Carn the Doggies!!!!) but I won't hold it against you if you follow another team :) I would love to assist members of the community to live their authentic lives as someone that they can trust and depend on for genuine companionship and a fairly terrible sense of humour (powered by groans and rolled eyes...) I find that passionate caregiving and being an advocate for others is very fulfilling and find personal satisfaction being in the service of others. I'm very easy to get along with and can foster quick connections with people. I've made friends with people over the phone, via email and even eBay that I am still in touch with, years later. It would be my pleasure to share my hobbies and partake in yours, it would be lovely to have someone to accompany me and chat about whatever that day's hot topic is! I'm very easy going and open to anything, if there's something that you want to try, I'm your hype person! Let's get out there and do it! *limited knitting/crocheting abilities over here, I could use any and all assistance please! My current project (ostensibly a scarf) needs a lot of work. I'm open to any activity and am happy to do overnights as often as you need, I just need to have notice so I can water my (many!) plants beforehand. I have experience with depression, bi-polar, anhedonia, ASD, ABI, Grave's disease, palliative care, cerebral palsy, severe anxiety, and am open to learning more, I just ask for patience and guidance whilst we get to know each other so I can best support you. I live and work with members of the LGBTQ+ community, am fully covid vaccinated/boosted, have a police check, NDIS screening check, working with children, first aid/CPR certified and am a fire warden at one of my static locations. I also took part in the Greater Dandenong Aged and Disability Services Community Panel in Oct-Nov 2023, deliberating the role that Council plays within the community. Reach out if you have any questions, looking forward to meeting you!
