Babitha Sivaraman

Registered Nurse

Babitha joined Equitas as a registered nurse in September 2015. Babitha studied nursing in Kerala in the South of India and worked as a nurse in medical/surgical wards and ICU before moving to New Zealand in 2014. Babitha completed her CAP (Competency Assessment Programme) in 2015, qualifying her to work as a registered nurse in New Zealand. When asked what she enjoys most about working at Equitas, Babitha says “Disability and Rehabilitation was an entirely new and different field for me, but helping my residents daily and to make them happy every day and the bond that I have with them. The smile on their face as they see me is what I enjoy. The freedom, work environment and the job satisfaction is a highlight.”

In her spare time Babitha enjoys spending time with family, in particular video chatting with her family back home in India, as well as watching movies and listening to music.
