Respite Care

I’m Lindsay.

I’m a registered nurse and a trauma informed foster carer and I have a passion for making a difference in my patients/ charges lives

I’ve been a nurse for 30 years and spent most of the last 20 years nursing children in Australia.

My background is in anesthetics so I’m great at staying calm in a crisis, quickly assessing situations, and giving explanations that the whole family can understand.

I’ve been a foster carer for the last 5 years. During that time I’ve provided respite and long-term care for children with a variety of disabilities from limb differences to FASD.

I can either come to your home to keep them in their routine or take them to a serviced apartment where plenty of accessible activities are available nearby.

While I’m with them I will work on capacity building and community engagement,taking into account their preferences.

I provide respite for children from 2-14.
