“The singing nurse”
I started at Rembrandt Court in 2015 fresh from The Netherlands.
You can generally hear me from a distance, I am always singing to residents, in dining rooms, the Nurses Station, or just in the corridors. I love to sing and talk in Dutch, I speak a bit of German and even a couple of Polish words.
I like being a source of positive energy to those around me, the residents but also my co-workers.
I am an Enrolled Nurse and have been working in aged care since I was a 15 year old, starting in the Netherlands and now Rembrandt has taken my heart.
