Accomplishments
My biggest accomplishments in life are my three beautiful children. I am a very down to earth, easy going, family orientated person. Until early 2024 I was a full time carer for my unwell mum. She had a deteriorating condition which required me to leave my full time job as an early childcare educator and dedicate myself to her. In that time I learned to do everything from feeding to bathing, incontinence aids to transfers, pressure sores, transfers all the way through to end of life care.
