About
Hi, I'm Mariana, originally from Brazil and now based in Sydney, Australia. With over 5 years of experience as a passionate support worker in home, I specialize in providing compassionate care to adults, teens, and children with diverse needs, including Autism and chronic conditions like diabetes and kidney issues. My personal journey fuels my dedication, having supported my dad through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and colostomy recovery, I discovered the power of a positive mindset and gentle encouragement in overcoming health challenges. This experience taught me the importance of empathy, active listening, and promoting independence in daily activities, community outings, and emotional wellbeing. Bilingual in English and Portuguese, I bridge cultural gaps and create inclusive environments, whether assisting with personal care, travel (up to 30 mins or more by car), pet-friendly activities, or outdoor adventures like park walks and dog-loving fun. Clients value my reliable, professional approach that celebrates their stories and brings joy through tailored support. If you would like to know a little bit more about my work, please, send me a message. Thank you!
