Supporting children and their parents through loving kindness and respect.
I retired from the WA Government in 2014 where I had pursued a lifestyle of working long hours for financial reward. In August 2016 I received a Certificate IV in Ageing Support and began working as a carer. I work with people of all ages, and abilities, including children. Many of the people I work with need assistance because their behaviours require a professional approach and others have physical or intellectual disabilities, which means they need support to optimise their abilities ... more I retired from the WA Government in 2014 where I had pursued a lifestyle of working long hours for financial reward. In August 2016 I received a Certificate IV in Ageing Support and began working as a carer. I work with people of all ages, and abilities, including children. Many of the people I work with need assistance because their behaviours require a professional approach and others have physical or intellectual disabilities, which means they need support to optimise their abilities and fill in the gaps. At last I work for spiritual reward, spending time with people of all ages, contributing to their personal happiness and learning experiences in a positive way. I don't support physical, mental or verbal violence but instruct with honesty and options. I am happy to cook and take on some house work when there is time. My primary role is to provide support and a social opportunity, focusing on fun, safety, wellbeing, whilst promoting personal growth.

What parents love about me
Parents enjoy my timekeeping. I am usually a little early and often have flexible finishing times. They are impressed by how quickly children bond with me and how happy they are to see me again.
What kids love about me
I enjoy sitting down with them to play a game, watch a movie or read stories in the bath. I am an emotive story teller. I help children to enjoy their home-work through great support and bright stickers.
What I love about this work
It's good for my soul and personal happiness. Children work with their real emotions and are mostly receptive to fun.
