I have worked as a carer for both aged care and people with disabilities for approximately fifteen years and I find it very rewarding. It is not just about personal care but interacting with clients, whether it be lending an ear, giving some reassurance, a friendly smile. I have a strong desire to make a positive difference in people's lives and believe I have the skills and attributes required to ensure I do just that. I possess CERT III in Aged Care along with experience/certificates in the following fields: Disability Aged Care Mental Health Chronic Medical Conditions Acquired Brain Injury Hearing Impairment Intellectual Disabilities Physical Disabilities Vision Impairment Dementia Parkinson's Disease Anxiety Bipolar Disorder Depression Eating Disorders Arthritis Asthma Cardiovascular Disease COPD or Respiratory Illness Diabetes
