I'm Cristina Hardie, founder and Managing Director of We Care for You. I have 2 disabled children so I know exactly what you have experienced and we're here to help. We consider the special needs of disabled children with great care, because I, myself, have 2 disabled kids. My children are my inspiration to why I started this company. My children are the living proof that 'Disability is not an Inability... I taught them the attitude that ‘making the most of what you have and rising above everything what life gives you, defines you, not your disabilities. Making a difference is what matters.
I immigrated in Australia in 2004 after living in Dubai for 11 years. I have no family or relatives to help me raise the kids after my husband left in 2007. I raised both of my children on my own. I know how hard it is... and we're here to help.
​
I have a Bachelors Degree in Secondary Education Major in History & Economics. I'm licensed to teach in Victoria. I also have a Graduate Diploma Degree in Psychology at University of Melbourne and presently doing Master of Counselling at Monash University. I've have acquired knowledge and skills in to further assist and be of service to the community, who have suffered disabilities based on my experience raising two disabled children. I specialise on helping children with special needs and it would be an honour to be able to assist them and their Carers of all their needs and to teach them to be more independent. My goal is to one day make a difference in improving their everyday life and to be part of our community.
​

I’ve been the sole Carer of my two disabled children for 16 years now and I have experienced everything what’s in raising special needs children on your own.
