Pleased to meet you, I’m Lauren from Geelong Community Care My NDIS registration application is now processing with the NDIS Commission which means I have more time to get back to what I love, and my calling - being a support worker! 5 years full time experience supporting a diverse range of people with disability: autism, psychosocial disability, dementia, intellectual disability, vision impairment, mobility disability, stroke, Angelman syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome, Parkinsons, diabetes and ABI.
5 years, I’ve built a consistent record of punctuality, reliability and loyalty. You can be assured that I will arrive on time, every time, that I will “do what I say” and that I’m 100% committed to my support relationships. 🙋🏻♀️ 2 Sole Operator + Registered Provider (pending) Hybrid I offer the best of both worlds… the agility and personalised approach of a sole operator, with the safety and credibility of a Registered Provider (pending). 🙋🏻♀️ 3 Phone free and focused - or the shift is free!
I put person-centred care into practice by providing my full attention during every shift. I am completely engaged and focused on your long and short term goals and preferences - not my phone! People describe me as proficient, diligent, kind, patient and warm. In my spare time I love discovering new things, gardening and making spaces beautiful and functional. My passions of wisdom, practicality and beauty also flow into my support practice. I’m now welcoming new participants and I look forward to building long-term and empowering relationships that facilitate independence and wellbeing.
I look forward to meeting you, Lauren. ps BIO In my spare time I love hanging out with my (deaf) Border Collie, Blossom, who is a retired Delta therapy dog. I also love learning new things, trying new recipes, gardening and creating spaces that are beautiful and functional. I also plan to complete the second half of the Diploma of Dementia Care (UTas), which has proven highly relevant and applicable so far. Lastly, I’m a good listener who enjoys meaningful conversations and learning from different perspectives.
I bring warmth, patience, and care to every shift, and love finding humour in the little things. And, fun fact - I can walk on my hands! 💙💛♥️🤎 Credentials: ACN / ABN.
