Tegan Toogood
Adelaide,SA
Summary
Hi my name is Tegan, I am a independent support work with life time experience and over 3 year's experience in disability support. I'm mostly experienced in working with children and young adults with autism but have experience with individuals with a variety of different disabilities and have supported many people from the age of 1 year old to 70 years old. A little bit about me, I'm 20 years old and I live in the northern area of Adelaide, SA. Growing up watching my mother be a support worker had inspired me to become a support worker as well. I have always had a passion for helping others and thrived on seeing other people grow.
