Summary
I am a dedicated and compassionate Support Worker with over two years of experience providing one-on-one care to individuals with a wide range of needs, including intellectual, psychosocial and physical disabilities, as well as age-related challenges. I take pride in building genuine connections with the people I support, always aiming to create a safe, respectful, and empowering environment where they feel heard, valued, and encouraged to live as independently as possible. My calm nature, strong work ethic, and commitment to person-centred care allows me to adapt to different situations and provide meaningful support tailored to each individual’s goals and preferences.
