About Us

👋 Hi, I’m Sarah — Founder of NZ Care Kits

With a background in healthcare and years of experience working with people and families, caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do.

But my passion for helping older people is also deeply personal. ❤️

• 🩺 Healthcare is in my DNA — my professional journey has given me a strong understanding of health, wellbeing and the challenges people can face as they age.
• 👨👩👧 I’ve seen it firsthand — my own ageing parents have experienced health challenges including Alzheimer’s, cancer, falls, stroke and diabetes. I’ve seen how much everyday tasks can change — and how difficult it can be to find the right products to help.
• 💡 That’s where NZ Care Kits was born — from a desire to make finding practical, helpful solutions much easier for older people and their families.
• 🤝 I believe care should feel empowering — not frustrating, overwhelming or undignified.
• 🌿 My mission is simple — to help people stay independent, comfortable and confident for as long as possible, with thoughtful tools that make everyday life a little easier.

💛 Because sometimes, better care starts with one simple solution.

And if I can help someone say “Oh, I didn’t know there was a tool for that!” — then I know I’m doing something worthwhile.

👂 We Listen First — Then We Create

Before launching NZ Care Kits, we wanted to understand the real challenges people face in everyday life — straight from the people experiencing them.

• We talked to Kiwis — listening to what everyday tasks were becoming difficult.
• 💬 We asked the important questions — “What’s frustrating you?” “What feels hardest?” “What would make this easier?”
• 👨👩👧 We listen to families & carers — because they often see the challenges up close.

💡 Behind Every Kit Is a Team

We don’t do it alone! Our kits are shaped by a dedicated team who understand the real-life challenges people face every day.

• 👩⚕️ Nurses & healthcare professionals — bringing valuable clinical insight and experience.
• 🤝 Support workers & caregivers — sharing what they see and experience in everyday care.
• 🏃 Fitness consultant — helping us think about comfort, movement and practical everyday solutions.
• 💭 Lots of brainstorming! — we regularly discuss everyday challenges and ask, “Is there a simpler way to do this?”
• 🧪 Real-world testing — we thoughtfully select and test tools before including them in our kits.
• ❤️ The goal? Simple solutions that work — making everyday tasks easier, safer and more comfortable.

Because the best solutions come from listening to the people who understand the challenges firsthand.
