Maria

Support worker

Outside of work, what is an interest/hobby you have?

Outside my work, I spend most of my time with my family (2 kids & dog) specially on weekends. We love watching movies, doing outdoor activities or going camping.

What is one of the things you do supporting our participants that gives you the most satisfaction?

I love supporting people who needs it the most, it gives me satisfaction when I know I made difference to their life whether it’s a small or big difference. Supporting them to live their lives as independently as they can.

What is something that isn’t on your resume?

So I love seeing the ocean from a far, I have Thalassophobia (fear of deep bodies of water) and I can’t swim

What initially drew you to the career path of support worker?

Being a support worker is challenging but very rewarding. I’ve always been interested in work involving helping others and making a positive difference to someone’s life. As a support worker, this career also brings out the best of me by caring for other people.
