The Right Fit: Choosing Your Support Worker

When it comes to finding the right support worker, qualifications are just the beginning. While skills and training are important, what truly makes a difference is the connection between the support worker and the individual they are caring for.

A great support worker is someone who not only understands your needs but also takes the time to listen, build trust, and form a genuine relationship. This bond is what helps people feel safe, respected, and empowered in their daily lives.

Every person’s situation is unique, which is why it’s important to look beyond resumes and certificates. The right fit comes down to shared values, communication, and the ability to create an environment where someone feels comfortable and supported.

At Redecare, we believe that support work is about more than just assistance — it’s about partnership. Our focus is on matching individuals with support workers who can connect on a personal level, ensuring that both practical and emotional needs are met.

Choosing the right support worker means choosing someone who will stand by you, not just as a helper, but as a trusted companion in your journey.

💙Because true support isn’t just provided — it’s felt.

Not all disabilities are visible. The sunflower lanyard helps people feel confident in signalling that they may need extra time, understanding, or assistance in public places.


Wearing the lanyard is a simple but powerful way to promote inclusivity and reduce stigma.

SUGAR AND GLUTEN-FREE MAKING AND BAKING CLASS

 

This year is the third year of sugar-and gluten-free cake-making classes. We have had amazing changemakers come along by starting with changing themselves. Since March last year, our classes are at the Sunshine Coast, Kings Beach, however we are happy to travel for a group of 5 or more people, read more below.

I have been sugar, lactose, and gluten-free for 22 years; therefore, the founder and publicist from the Holistic Bliss Magazine suggested sharing what I’ve learned and showing others that change can be easy.

No sugar? Instead of thinking of giving something up, think of a better, clearer skin, a slimmer tummy, and a slender body frame, possibly adding some years of healthy body and no guilt of eating all the cake you want!

 Are the products organic?

I am using everyday products from supermarkets. Cacao powder and coconut flour, and some other products are organic; however, the idea of this class is its simplicity and availability for everyone who is looking for a change or bringing awareness to their life in terms of getting healthier. If there is an audience, we might create a class with organic products that have a different price. We are certainly interested in working with local producers.

What kind of sweeteners are being used?

Sweetener (erythritol and organic steviol glycosides), just because it works and doesn’t leave an aftertaste, was tested on stevia-sensitive people.

If you have a group of 5 people, we might find you a suitable date and time or place of your choice; enquire by phone or email. If you have a bigger group of 5-20 you have to organise a venue with an oven.

What are the cakes made of?

Largely coconut products and almond flour, lactose-free yoghurt that can be substituted with coconut cream, eggs, cashews, and cottage cheese. However, coconut flour has been integrated into recipes to dim down the heaviness that almond flour sometimes creates. Note: It’s not a vegan (one of the recxipes is) or dairy-free class; we adjust recipes with lactose-free dairy products based on your enquiry.

Who is coming to the classes, and who are these classes for?

These classes may contribute to fitness fanatics or people who don’t have an overly active life. I have lived both, so I am more on the ignorant side now. The classes are great for a family celebration, team building activitybirthday or food awareness day as part of a retreat.

We also collaborate with nutritionists; if you need further, specific help with your nutrition plan, we can put you in touch! If you are a nutritionist, you’re welcome to collaborate.

Are you a sweet tooth? You prefer to eat less sugar. You cannot have any sugar?

Are you trying to lose weight? You are trying to maintain your health.

We have had in the class doctors, chefs, celiacs, people on a keto diet, weight watchers, sugar addicts on their weight loss journey, and also some that haven’t been on a diet in their life but were looking for snack options for their guests.

Recipes are simple that you could use as your weekly prep food, or you can fancy up with some decorations or sauces to serve to your guests. 4 hours, 3 recipes. There is no need to be a food maker or baker by any means beforehand.

Lighter than keto recipes, less fat has been used, and there is no coconut oil.

Chocolate, vanilla-lemon, and coconut taste buds will be satisfied.

 Sugar-free life?

 Not necessarily.

 Rising awareness about food, yes, and enjoying goodies more often, yes.

 Help with your shopping list.

In the cooking class, I usually dig into my cabinet and show many other products that are available out there that people aren’t really aware they can use, to reduce their sugar intake or avoid gluten.

In terms of baking, there are really many options in the store that can be used instead of sugar, and I have tried them all. To save you time and money, I can tell you which one actually works.

There will be What’s App community group for the class participants where I will post updates about product discoveries and new recipes.
