About Bloom.

Hi, I’m Dee founder of Bloom!

I am an Independant Support Worker with 17 years of experience in Mental Health and Disability supports.

I have worn many hats during my career, from Group Home Manager, Behavior Support Practitioner, NDIS support Advisor, Customer Relations specialist, Regional Manager and Operations Lead. But nothing makes me happier than working hands on with participants.

But my favorite role has been working as a Disability Support worker. Working with participants, getting to know them individually, learning how they like things done and growing on those interests to teach and learn new skills. I am so grateful for all those I have worked with and those I will work with; it warms my heart to see others grow; to see others achieve and ensure they are living their best lives. Ensuring I am giving participants quality care, and a quality of life is very important to me.
