Summary
With over 30 years of experience in the hairdressing industry, mentoring apprentices& running my own businesses, I realised my passion for caring for others, lay elsewhere.
In the world of support & care of others.
In short, my personal attributes & communication skills, are what I can bring to you. Highly empathetic, I focus on really listening, making the people I'm with, feel comfortable enough to share or even just feel safe enough in my presence, to take small steps forward in their individual situations. Extremely dedicated & passionate in my place of work, I live to make others feel heard & cared for.
I'm currently undertaking my Cert 3 in Individual Support & have been working in disability for the last 12 months. Currently working in SIL Houses, doing Passive Sleepovers & out in the community.
