Meet Delores

Hello, my name is Hawa, and I am the proud mother of two beautiful children.

I have been supporting Delores and her housemates for the past 5 years with Nulsen, and I’ve worked as a support worker for 10 years. What started as a desire to help others has grown into something much more meaningful. Over time, Delores and her housemates have become like close friends to me. I take the time to truly understand each person, their likes, dislikes, and what makes them happy. Their joy becomes my joy, and I always strive to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.

Delores is like the princess of the home. We enjoy spending time together doing activities like painting and treating ourselves to getting our nails done, we love our girl moments!

I truly enjoy my role at Nulsen. I wouldn’t still be here after five years if I didn’t. Nulsen not only cares deeply about the residents but also provides strong support for the employees, which makes a real difference.

I also love cooking, and some of my favourite moments are when Delores and her housemates enjoy the meals I’ve made!

Hi, I’m Helen, and I’ve been a support worker with Nulsen for five years. I initially supported residents at another home before joining Delores and her housemates a few years ago. Over time, this home has truly become like a big, happy family, and I love being part of it.

I see Delores and her housemates as my siblings, and I genuinely care about them. When they’re happy, I feel at ease, but when they’re unwell, I can’t help but worry. The bond we’ve built over the years is incredibly strong. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is seeing how they respond to me, sometimes they don’t even need to see me; just hearing my voice brings them comfort and happiness. Knowing that sense of familiarity and connection is really special.

While every day can be different and no two days are ever quite the same, I wouldn’t dream of leaving.

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and have explored much of Australia. I recently returned from Bali, and I love experiencing different cultures!
