My past careers have included graphic design and floristry – but I am convinced that support work is my calling. The people I support describe me as compassionate, proficient, diligent, patient and warm.
Pleased to meet you I’m Lauren,
a disability support worker in Geelong.
Since January 2022, I have been providing support across the disability and aged care sectors for people living with:
• autism
• ADHD
• intellectual disability
• mobility disability
• Angelman syndrome
• vision impairment
• dementia (incl childhood dementia and younger onset dementia)
• stroke
• DiGeorge syndrome
• Parkinsons
• diabetes
• ABI
I am studying the Diploma of Dementia Care with the Wicking Dementia Centre (University of Tasmania), the national leader in dementia education and research. I’m finding it immeasurably interesting and applicable as an NDIS support worker and Aged carer.
In my spare time I love hanging out with my deaf Border Collie, Blossom who is a retired Delta therapy dog. I enjoy learning new things, gardening and making spaces beautiful and functional.
If you would like to chat or arrange a free meet and greet, please get in touch. I look forward to meeting you!
