Description
Hello, my name is Helen K. and I am a female home carer with experience in providing care for individuals with various needs. I specialize in caring for clients with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, Depression, and those who are bedbound.
I have extensive experience in both live-in and hourly care, which means I am adaptable to different caregiving schedules. Although I do not have a car, I am able to drive and have access to reliable transportation.
My skills as a carer include assisting with activities of daily living such as bathing, toileting, and dressing. I also have experience with catheter care and I provide companionship to ensure that my clients feel supported both physically and emotionally.
In my free time, I enjoy engaging in hobbies that nurture my creativity and keep me mentally stimulated. I love solving puzzles, decorating, embroidery, gardening, and playing board games. I also have a fondness for pets and particularly enjoy the company of cats, fish, rabbits, birds, and lizards.
What sets me apart as a carer is my natural and genuine caring nature. I strive to provide a friendly and helpful environment for my clients, always aiming to help them lead independent lives as much as possible. Seeing my clients thrive and be able to enjoy their lives despite their challenges is what motivates me to continue in this rewarding field.
