It is our pleasure to welcome you to Driving Miss Daisy Mackay North. My name is Jenny Robinson and with the support of my husband Simon, we are delighted to be offering the Driving Miss Daisy service to our local community.
I am proud to say that I am Mackay born and raised having lived and worked in the Mackay region all my life. Simon has called Mackay home for over 32 years, after moving here for love and deciding that this was where we wanted to settle down to raise our two beautiful daughters. After over 30 years working in the photographic industry, I decided to follow my passion for helping and caring for people. I attained my Certificate iii in Individual Support and worked for over 6 years in Aged Care as a Personal Care Worker. Simon also has a long work history in community orientated careers.
With several senior friends that I visit regularly, and help by driving to appointments, we realised how much this type of service is needed in the community. Driving Miss Daisy is exactly what our passion and drive is to do - offer a safe, friendly, reliable companion driving service with love and care.
As your local Daisy, we are passionate about providing the highest level of service to our clients. We would love to assist you or a loved family member to attend an appointment, visit a friend or relative, take you shopping, attend an event like a special birthday or wedding, a catch up with friends, a trip to the movies, or whatever your individual needs may be.
If you like, we can accompany you during an appointment or whilst attending an event. We can help you with your shopping and even give you a helping hand to unpack your groceries. You may want assistance taking your pet to the vet or would just like some company while enjoying a cuppa, a picnic in the park or a social outing. We will be your trusted friend and ensure you arrive safely home.
We respect individualism and can customise an outing that suits your individual needs. Every service we provide is pre-quoted, there are no hidden or extra costs. We will arrive on time, at the time you request and collect you from your door, take you anywhere you need to go, be your companion for anything you want or need to do. No request is too big or too small.
For your peace of mind, we are vetted by the Australian Police, are First Aid and Friends of Dementia trained, approved for Working with Children, have NDIS worker clearance, and hold all the required Small Passenger Vehicle Licenses and special rideshare insurance. The Driving Miss Daisy network ensures all franchise owners deliver their services in accordance with clear and detailed operations manuals which reflect stringent safety standards.
We look forward to meeting you and being your family when family can’t be there! ™
"I have been using Driving Miss Daisy from the day the business started. Jenny is always very prompt in picking me up to any appointments that I need to go to and I am always on time for these appointments. Jenny is a very careful driver so it’s always a stress free trip, even at peak hour times. We always enjoy a coffee and chat after my appointments then Jenny gets me safely home. Jenny is very helpful getting me into the car and out again when we get home and sees me safely into my home. It is a caring service for which I am grateful." - C. Smith
"We have found Jenny to be super professional but personal and friendly, and honestly don’t know where we would be without her. Jenny is always prompt and clear with communication, and will always go the extra mile to provide support, plus reaching out to her driving team to fall back on if we are needing an extra slot when she is booked up. Jenny’s car is immaculate and Jenny makes sure she has prior knowledge of her clients to tailor the ride and companion time making them feel as comfortable and at ease as possible, whilst meeting their goals and commitments 100%. I feel Jenny really has her clients’ interests at heart. She is a real gem." - Jen
Driving Miss Daisy provided our mother with exceptional care and support, taking her on drives, to parks, to appointments, local events and to visit her friends. Jenny went above and beyond, always flexible about any change of plans, always mindful of Mum’s comfort and needs, always reliable. The family was so very grateful knowing that Mum was in such experienced and capable hands, and that she felt so very comfortable with Jenny and looked forward to her outings. The service exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend it to anyone seeking additional support for their loved ones. - Noela and Christine
