About Extra Hand – history and qualifications

Gai TibbetsGai Tibbits has all the experience to deliver what she promises:

  • Raised in the country so not a stranger to hard work
  • Trained as an Enrolled Nurse at Biloela Hospital
  • Privately nursed a terminal cancer patient
  • Two years nursing at St Andrew’s Hospital in Brisbane
  • 26 years as a Flight Attendant with TAA, Australian Airlines, Qantas
  • 4 years working as a Nanny in private homes whilst backpacking around Canada and England.  She’s also travelled around the USA, Ireland, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Finland and Norway
  • Certificate of Counselling
  • Blue Card.

Personal experience led this vivacious, adventurous lady to establish Extra Hand.  Gai became seriously ill shortly after her Mum passed away and there was no-one to help her make meals and change the sheets.
