Description
Hello, I'm Susanna L, a compassionate and experienced female home carer specializing in hourly care. With a wealth of knowledge and expertise in supporting individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, anxiety, depression, and those who are bedbound, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care to meet the unique needs of each individual I work with.
As a skilled carer, I offer a range of services including bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, catheter care, and essential companionship. Having the ability to drive and access to my own car allows me to provide flexible care arrangements and support my clients in various settings, enhancing their quality of life. I take pride in my caring, friendly, and helpful nature, ensuring that the individuals under my care feel valued and supported on their journey towards independence.
Beyond my professional role, I find joy in a variety of hobbies such as walking, cooking and baking delicious treats, solving puzzles, socializing with others, and immersing myself in the world of literature. Additionally, I have a soft spot for pets and am comfortable caring for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds. My motivation for pursuing a career in caregiving stems from my genuine desire to help people lead fulfilling and independent lives, making a positive impact on those I assist.
