| Since March 2021 I’ve been working as a self employed disability support worker and it is here I’ve discovered my passion. I have a registered ABN, hold an NDIS Worker Screening card, a Blue card and have current First Aid and CPR certificates. Up until that time, I worked in the childcare industry from 2010 where I acquired a Diploma in Early Childhood Education and Care in 2014. I currently support an adult with an acquired brain injury, ASD, ADHD and anxiety. I also care for two school aged children who have developmental delays and ADHD. I’m seeking a client/s Tuesdays and Thursdays who I will be available to care for until 2pm. Although, there may be a possibility that my current clients are able to alter days/hours to enable it to suit. I thrive off supporting vulnerable members of our community to reach their goals and to live a fulfilling life. I look forward to hearing from you and hope I’ll be the perfect fit for someone :)

| Having a brother with muscular dystrophy really opened my eyes to wanting to help individuals with special needs. I have had experience especially with children and adults with autism and Down syndrome both through volunteer and paid work. My work teaching English as a foreign language to young learners, babysitting young children and my work with special needs people has enabled utilising communication techniques visually through pictures. This is beneficial for people with autism, behavioural disabilities, individuals with speech impediment, deaf or/ and mute children. It enables communications of needs, wants, fears, daily routine and I have used it effectively with many people. I have extreme care and empathy with a kind, gentle nature.

| I have been a special needs teacher and family day educator of special needs kids. Specialising in finding solutions to difficult situations, concentrating on what a person can do and is good at while encouraging growth in their weak areas. Helping someone find a purpose, happiness and independence where possible.
