| I worked for an agency in America for a year, taking care of old people, dementia, or staying the the hospital after their operation and when they go back home. The agency used me as a reliever so I handled many times and didn’t need any certification. Sometimes live in and most times going there on a daily basis. When I live in they give me room and free food. In Australia I decided to take the course and will soon be finished. Should I be hired now, I am willing to give up my course since the whole idea is to be employed anyway when I get my certification. I have police clearance and Blue Card.

| To me Being a caregiver is more than just providing care to someone. Caring for another is about showing compassion and respect and being by their side. Patience is also a very important aspect of caring for others. My passion for helping others began when I was 13 years old with my Aunty who was in a serious car accident and needs full care I’m now 25 years old now and I still care for my Aunty I have worked with many different people with different disability’s such as - Elderly, Dementia patients, special needs clients and many different homes as well as private care...
