Summary

A bit about me: I’m physically fit and healthy, and I’m not afraid of hard work. I stay active and enjoy being outdoors in nature.

I have a genuine passion for working with the elderly. It can be deeply rewarding, offering the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives and fostering a sense of fulfilment. I also have experience handling dementia clients and other challenging behaviours and outbursts, as I’ve had to deal with these situations throughout my career.
