Having been a foster carer for the past 3 years, I understand the value of having support not only for the person you are spending time with but also for the family or carers of the person. I love spending time doing fun things and planning adventures, I've always found this enjoyable when we've taken respite placements. I've also seen the value of consistent support in the life of a 12 year old that we have cared for on & off over the past 3 years. I am also a twin Mum & understand the importance of multi-tasking and getting things done. I have run my own mortgage broking business for the past seven years & thoroughly enjoy taking the time to explain things to people. As a teenager I had a close friend who had memory loss as a result of a brain tumour, through my experience of helping her attend our youth group, I understand the value of inclusion & that everyone just needs a little compassion & help sometimes. I believe community is such a gift and yet can be hard to find sometimes. I would love to be able to support someone in finding theirs & being able to follow their passions. I have experience spending time with people with ODD, ADHD, Global Developmental Delay, memory & hearing loss and have spent a lot of time looking after children between the ages of newborn - 16 years old. I love to spend time with my family, my friends, doing embroidery, reading, going to the beach, watching movies and going on walks with my dog, Biggie. I also love going to the pool & specifically doing aqua aerobics. I regularly take my sons to the museum & the zoo & love getting out & about.
