Hey, I’m Tamara
Alongside my husband, Rob Leyden, our Co Founder, who shares this vision with me, more importantly, we believe deeply in the power of care that feels personal, respectful, and real. For us, this work goes far beyond business, it’s about people, family, and creating something we wish existed when our own loved ones needed support.
At 4 Hearts Homecare, we provide more than just support, we offer care that feels like family. Inspired by personal loss and built on lived experience, our team is deeply committed to delivering compassionate, personalised services across Southern Queensland and beyond. From personal care and domestic help to community access, transport, animal therapy, and tailored NDIS and Aged Care packages, everything we do is guided by your goals, values, and wellbeing.
FOUNDER OF 4 HEARTS HOMECARE
Where it began…
IT ALL STARTED WITH A STORY CLOSE TO HOME
After losing family members to cancer and dementia, I saw firsthand how challenging and isolating, navigating care can be. I felt the gaps. The rushed visits. The lack of connection. And I knew there had to be a better way.
So I set out to build it.
What started as a small idea has grown into a values led team providing both Aged Care and NDIS support, all grounded in empathy, respect, and human connection. Today, we’re proud to support individuals and families across Southern Queensland with care that’s truly personal.
The sunrise image here was from our first family holiday without my dad, a moment marked by his one special request: to share a bottle of Johnny Blue in his honour. It's a quiet reminder of where this journey began and who we carry with us along the way.
At 4 Hearts, every person is seen, heard, and supported with compassion just like I would want for my own family.
Some fun facts
Big on stars, Small on house plants
I love gardening, but somehow the only plants I manage to keep alive are the ones on their last legs in the clearance section. Most nights, you’ll find me outside talking to the stars, saying hello to my family up there.
If I wasn’t running 4 Hearts…
I’d be on a self sufficient farm, learning to make butter and preserve fruit. (One day!)
My home
Mum to 3 beautiful girls, and guided every day by my sweet angel boy, Lockie ♡. Wife to a very patient man, he drives me crazy... and makes me fall in love all over again, every single day (don’t tell him I said that haha)
My coffee order
Cream, milk and peppermint. Or tea but only if there are biscuits to dunk!
