Description
My name is Catarina F and I am a professional female carer with a wealth of experience in providing compassionate care to individuals with a range of conditions. With a focus on hourly care, I have a strong background in supporting individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, anxiety, depression, and those who are bedbound.
I am proud to say that I am a skilled carer in a variety of areas. From assisting with bathing, toileting, and dressing, to providing catheter care and companionship, I am dedicated to making my clients feel comfortable and supported. My experience also extends to driving and I have my own car, allowing me to provide transportation as needed.
Outside of my caring work, I have a variety of hobbies that keep me engaged and energized. I enjoy walking, cooking and baking, decorating, reading, and staying active through sports. Additionally, I am an animal lover and have experience caring for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds.
One of my greatest attributes is my caring and friendly nature. I genuinely enjoy helping others and find great satisfaction in assisting individuals to lead independent lives. Providing support and companionship to those in need is not just a job to me, but a calling. I am committed to making a positive impact and improving the lives of those I work with.
If you are seeking a reliable, compassionate, and skilled carer who will go above and beyond to meet your needs, look no further. I am confident that my experience, skills, and personal attributes make me an ideal choice to support you or your loved one in achieving a fulfilling and independent life.

Catarina has been a gem of a find. She is a brilliant carer for my mum. I know it is perhaps cliche to say, but she is so caring, compassionate and empathic towards my mum. It has made a huge difference both for my mum and for the wider family. Aside from regular visits, she helps with shopping, meal prep, takes my mum out walking, appointments - everything we need. I cannot recommend Catarina enough - she's just brilliant!
