SUPPORT WORK
MORE THAN JUST SUPPORT
Support work is about stepping into a family's everyday life and being there where support is actually needed. That can look different for every child and every family because no routine or needs are the same.
​
It might mean helping your child get ready in the morning, school drop-offs and pick-ups, taking them to therapy appointments, supporting them at home, getting out into the community or simply being an extra pair of hands during a busy afternoon.
​
For me, being a support worker also means taking the time to genuinely get to know your child and your family learning their routines, understanding what makes them comfortable, discovering what they enjoy and becoming someone they know, trust and feel safe with.
THE RELATIONSHIP MATTERS
When you're inviting a support worker into your family's world, I think the relationship matters just as much as the practical support. I want to be someone your child looks forward to seeing — someone who celebrates the little wins, encourages them when something feels difficult, learns what makes them laugh and advocates for what they need. Because ultimately, support work isn't just about getting from A to B or completing a list of tasks. It's about helping your child feel supported, capable, included and confident in their everyday life.
OVERNIGHT & WEEKEND SUPPORT
Support doesn't always finish at the end of the day. I can provide overnight, sleepover and weekend support in your child's own home, giving families flexibility while keeping your child somewhere familiar and comfortable. This can look different for every family. It may be an active overnight for a child or young person who requires support throughout the night, a sleepover where I'm there if they need me, or support across an entire weekend while parents or carers take some well-deserved time away. It doesn't have to be for complex or high support needs either. Sometimes it's simply knowing your child is safe, comfortable and with someone they trust while you enjoy a night or weekend away. From higher support needs to a relaxed weekend at home — overnight care can be shaped around your family.
OUT & ABOUT
Support doesn't have to happen at home. I can support your child with school pick-ups and drop-offs, transport to therapy and appointments, community outings, activities and spending time doing the things they enjoy. Whether we're heading to an appointment, the park, an activity or somewhere completely new, I want your child to feel supported while also having opportunities to build confidence and experience more of their community.

PART OF YOUR CHILD'S TEAM
Because I'm also an Allied Health Assistant, Personal Trainer and Pilates Instructor, I bring that knowledge with me into my support work. Where appropriate, I can work alongside your child's allied health professionals and family to understand the goals they're already working towards and help encourage those skills outside of formal therapy. That might mean incorporating movement, strength, coordination, independence or therapy recommendations naturally into everyday activities — so working towards their goals doesn't always have to feel like therapy.
EVERYDAY SUPPORT
Support can be incorporated into the things your child already does every day. This may include morning and afternoon routines, getting ready for school, meals, personal care where required, school transport, appointments, therapy sessions and support within the home. The goal isn't to take over — it's to provide the right level of assistance while encouraging your child to participate, make choices and build independence wherever possible.
