Interests
My family and 3 granddaughters. I love to be able to work with the Aged and make them smile and give them the care they deserve as well as giving as much to support in the best way that I can.
All certificates for mandatory online eLearning.
I have 3 grandchildren, 2 with special needs and they mean the world to me. I left Aged Care due to not being able to give the genuine care that I wanted to. I miss being able to care for people in one way or another and would like an opportunity to be able to accomplish in a lighter field of work and remain in a medical environment. The reason I am no longer in disability support, the company I was working for closed down due to the changes and higher demands of NDIS. Both fields of work became that not person-centred and this is not the person I am. I love to bring happiness to people as much as possible. I am very confidential and willing to work. I am on the Aged Pension, but I want to be able to work 4 - 8 hours a week to be part of helping and caring for people.
