Tell us about you!

I enjoy all things beauty! I currently have my own beauty business and I am currently looking for extra reliable work.

I have a cousin who is living with autism and with brain damage, epilepsy and so much more and I love caring for him. Ever since I was little he always listened to me over anyone else and we have a very strong relationship. I’d love to use this personal experience to support and make a difference in someone else’s life.

Tell us about you!

My hobbies are mostly evolved around my beautiful sprocker spaniel boy. I spend my current spare time spending it with my dog, training him and looking into different avenues in my spare time to train him to be a medical intervention dog.

In the past volunteered abroad supporting animals and people. For example, I travelled to north Africa to support a community near the summit of mountain Toubkal. To provide support on how they can improve their living conditions and set up safe systems of work to earn a living.

I also have also travelled the east coast of Australia. I have an interest in continuous professional development completing distance learning courses such as; L3 animal welfare, dog training, and awareness of animals in violent homes. 

With my counselling and psychotherapy background, I have the emotional intelligence and passion to build strong relationships and to support people to ensure they have a positive and life changing experience. 

I grew up with a military background moving every 6 months to a year during my childhood so change doesn’t phase me and I would settle with ease very quickly with a can do, grateful attitude.

I have developed strengths that make me independent, thoughtful and appreciative of human connections, and the impact being kind to one another makes.

I enjoy listening to motivational speakers, mentors and influencers. I enjoy being outdoors, doing meditation, and I try my best to practice mindfulness.

I have a great knowledge base with experience in a variety of settings. I worked my way up the industry as a care assistant, mental health worker, to nursing assistant, health care trainer, care assessor, rehabilitation team leader, to assistant complex care manager.

I left my assistant manager role just under a year ago now, to commit to caring for a loved one, since then, my circumstances have changed and am no longer required to commit to this.

I have a passion and a caring attitude required for this role. I have a loving nature, passion, a caring attitude the experience behind me.

I have many different experiences such as being involved in babies’/toddlers’ emergency tracheostomy tube changes to provide ventilation and oxygen, to supporting a client through a complex rehab program after acquiring a brain injury and challenging behaviour, to providing and developing relevant companionship programs and healthy stimulation activities for different types of dementia patients.

I am also a qualified first aid instructor, with awareness of mental health first aid, mental health resilience and awareness of self-harm.

I have a good record of working well independently and manage my time on duty effectively. I am trustworthy and reliable and confident and I have obtained the level 3 health and social care qualification, level 4 counselling and psychotherapy and level 3 PTTLS teaching adults qualifications

I have experience with the re-ablement, I’m very approachable and flexible and am able to appreciate other people's perception and feelings towards things and I’m non-judgemental.

Any other information?

I am ideally looking for a role where the client wouldn't mind me moving in with the intention to be the full time live in carer. I was hoping to be matched with a client that likes dogs, and wouldn't mind dog living in the separate living space whilst I am on duty. My dog is very calm, and doesn't bark. I am willing to do a trial first.

Availability: I am looking to be the sole care worker working full time.
