Our team

Hi there! My name is Tayla

I am a Support worker, Coordinator, and the Director at Tayla’d Care services.

In 2016 I started my journey, helping individual participants to achieve their goals either at home or out in the community. Throughout my years working closely with individuals, my compassion drove me to really understand what participants want to achieve and how to help them achieve it. I genuinely enjoy getting to know and understand our participants and making each individual participant’s experience tailor made to their goals, wants and needs.

In my free time I enjoy socialising, camping, and exploring exciting new place to eat and playing for my regular footy team the flint tropics.
