Lara Meates
Summary
My name is Lara,
My key service include hanging out and supporting my clients in their daily routines and activities as part of their plan, Through ongoing support, i enjoy assisting them to remove any barriers which could be restricting them to live their life to the fullest. I've been working as a pharmacy assistant for 3 years and have extensive knowledge and understanding of the medications my clients are prescribed. I recently completed my certificate III in individual support (Age Care) and have thoroughly loved working in a retirement home. I am now looking to further develop my skills and knowledge in the disability sector. My core values and interests are to " Just live life to the fullest". I love exploring new things, My interest are going to beaches, rock pools, lakes and other bodies of water. I'm currently renovating a van to convert into a camper very soon to use on my camping trips. I also like painting, watching new shows on Netflix, going to the drive - in cinema and cooking. I hope this helped getting a better understanding of me :)
