Hi, I am Lizhen
Founder of Carrie Care
I have worked as a theatre nurse for various different hospitals for over 30 years. I have enjoyed being self-employed as it offers me incomparable flexibility, better compensation and opportunities to work in a variety of different environments.
Along my own journey to becoming self-employed, I found that it was difficult to get started and to find work among the different hospitals. This is especially true if you are only working to pick up a few shifts here and there. Through my own experience working as a self-employed nurse, I created Carrie Care, an agency that helps connect healthcare workers to different hospitals throughout New Zealand.
My goal is to provide a service to you that helps you eliminate the hassles and hurdles of being self-employed so that you can enjoy all the benefits that comes with it.
We will provide our staff with a competitive pay, flexibility, and control over your own shifts. Whether you are looking for a few extra shifts or a full-time job we are able to help. At Carrie Care we understand the importance of family commitments, a social life and work- life balance. We work with you to create a schedule that is most suitable for you and match your expertise and preferences with the hospital's needs.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch! Flick us an email or text if you have any questions or just want to get to know us better.
