About Ivy

I became a Support Worker because I believe in helping people find joy and expression in their everyday lives. I'm passionate about building genuine connections and celebrating individual strengths.

My personality is bubbly, artistic, and fun-loving! I thrive on bringing a positive atmosphere to the support environment. I love finding creative solutions and ways to make even routine tasks engaging and enjoyable.

My approach is person centred and joyful, always respecting your choices while looking for opportunities to laugh, create, and explore. I am committed to using trauma-informed practices, prioritising safety, trust, and collaboration, even when we are having a blast!

In my free time, I love drawing, painting, listening to music and going for drives. I am always happy to incorporate your own creative interests, whether it’s making a mess with paint or jamming to your favourite tunes, into our daily activities.
