Hi, we are Karen and Marc, owners of Driving Miss Daisy Barossa Valley SA. 

Karen is a former Care Manager, most recently with a role as a Homecare package/Support At Home coordinator of supports and services in the local Barossa and Mid North area, and Marc is a Chef of international standard who has a great rapport with people of all ages. Together, we have many years of experience in helping people achieve an independent life, with the care that they require in a comfortable environment and support their individual choices.

We would love to assist you, a loved one, family member or even surprise a friend; by taking you to an appointment, lunch, shopping, or may be even for a surprise ‘mystery tour’? Whatever your need is, we are here to help (and have a bit of fun along the way). We will not only take you to an appointment, but can wait with you, and bring you safely home to your front door.

We can also assist families by taking children to and from school or after-school activities, helping to make busy days a little easier.

Our personal service stands apart from taxis and rideshare kerb to kerb cars. Our safe, dependable, and friendly companion driving service offers far more than just transportation. We can take you to your local shops, even help you with finding specials on your weekly shopping, and after we have driven you home, help you unpack your groceries as well. We do not honk the horn. We greet you at your door with a trusty umbrella if it is raining or just too hot. Then we assist you in whatever way you need, until you are safely home again.

For your peace of mind, we are vetted by the Australian Police, are First Aid and Friends of Dementia and Hidden Disabilities trained, approved for Working with Children, and hold all the required Small Passenger Vehicle Licenses and special rideshare insurance.

We recognise that being older does have some limitations but does not mean our passengers are expecting a less-fulfilled life! Join us soon to see why we, as part of national Driving Miss Daisy, have the goal to enable your own independence.

We look forward to meeting you and being your family when family can’t be there!™
