Meet the Team
Kris Aitken
Founder
Kris leads the daily operations and management of Your Helpers Home Services while fostering meaningful connections with Participants and their support providers.
With a strong background in management, she began her career in Real Estate before spending over a decade in Corporate Recruitment across Sydney and the Gold Coast. A pivotal career shift then led her to manage a family-owned business in the Building and Construction industry.
Having a close family member under the NDIS, Kris deeply understands the challenges faced by individuals and families living with disabilities. Seeing the need for reliable, honest, and compassionate support to help people with disabilities maintain their homes, she was inspired to create Your Helpers Home Services.
