Summary
I am currently halfway studying for a Certificate III in Disability and Aged Care after caring for my mother for five years, including end-of-life care. I have joined the disability sector and have 2 yrs experience in home care. During this time, I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, including individuals with MS, ASD (non-verbal), ADHD, dementia, and various psychosocial needs. This experience has equipped me with the skills and empathy necessary to provide high-quality support and care.
