| I have completed my Certificate IV in Ageing Support. Previous to returning to the workforce, I was a stay at home mum to my two disabled children, who are now in day care and school. I believe that my experience as a mum has provided me with incomparable training in caring for others (cleaning, feeding and bathing them), arranging and juggling social activities, shopping and running errands, working as part of a team, negotiating, and providing emotional support with patience and love. In addition, I have cared for in laws for the past seven years. This personal experience has provided me with an insight into the needs of the aged and the importance of providing them with the nurturing, respect and comfort that they deserve. For the past 3 years, i have worked with non for profit companies, which provides Community Access; helping with shopping, taking on outings etc. As well as in home support; social support, housekeeping, cooking, assisting with medication and personal hygiene. As of next month, April, I will be starting my diploma in Nursing
