Before working at Warrigal, I held a position in hospitality for 10 years. In that time I was privileged to be able to assist and form strong bonds with my older customers on a daily basis. You would be worried about them if you hadn’t seen them for a while! So when it came time for me to think about a new career choice, I sat and thought about what came naturally to me – so here I am!...

I love what I do. I have never witnessed so much appreciation from clients before in all my life. You walk away from them feeling fantastic, knowing that from their appreciation you have done such a good job and helped them in probably more ways than we realise. So that’s a good feeling.

Working as a carer certainly helps you understand what is important in life. I would pass on to my children to always make sure that you are there for your family no matter what. Life is short and you can make big differences in people’s lives just from being around.
