Description
Hello, my name is Savannah I am a female home carer with several years of experience providing support and assistance to my parents and, when I was nursing, to my patients. I specialize in caring for those with conditions such as Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, and Depression. My care expertise includes bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, catheter care, and offering companionship.
One important aspect of my caregiving role is being able to drive and have my own car. This allows me to easily transport clients to medical appointments, run errands, and help them maintain an active social life. I believe that being able to drive enhances the overall independence and quality of life for those under my care.
Aside from my professional skills as a caregiver, I also have a variety of hobbies that I enjoy. I find great joy in painting, walking, playing card games, cooking, baking, and decorating. These activities not only bring me personal pleasure but can also be shared and enjoyed with the clients I care for.
Being caring, friendly, and helpful are attributes that are fundamental to who I am as a person and as a caregiver. It is my genuine desire to support and assist others in leading independent lives. I find immense fulfillment in making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for, and I am dedicated to providing a safe and comfortable environment where my clients can thrive.
Furthermore, I have a preference for dogs and understand the importance of pets in people's lives. I am more than willing to provide care and assistance for any beloved four-legged family members.
If you are seeking a compassionate and experienced caregiver who is passionate about helping people maintain their independence, I would be honored to provide my services. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any further information or to discuss your care needs.
