Summary
I have been busy raising a big family of 6 kids for the past 19 years and have only resurfaced into the workforce approximately in 2020. My current employer asked me to consider support work as she felt it would be a great fit for me . So I reluctantly tried and found I absolutely loved it . I am very good at getting alone side individuals watching and reading them and offering support in appropriate ways that respect them and their individual needs . I have been well liked by my clients and developed deep connections and built trust through being open and honest and reliable. My previous clients have varied with clients with dementia ,physical disabilities ,veterans , emotion needs ,cleaning shifts and companionship and helping with emotional regulation.
My early days work experience when I was young was childcare ,fruit picking and farm hand but find support work my sweet spot as it seemed like a natural position to go into given my life of looking after and supporting people around me daily . .
