Hello, I'm Lydia O, a dedicated female home carer with a passion for helping those in need. With experience in caring for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Anxiety, Depression, Osteoporosis, and Rheumatoid Arthritis, I understand the importance of providing compassionate and tailored support to enhance their quality of life. As a carer specializing in hourly care, I offer services such as bathing, toileting, dressing assistance, catheter care, and invaluable companionship.
Being able to drive and owning a car allows me to easily travel to my clients' locations, ensuring prompt and reliable care. My skills, coupled with my caring, friendly demeanor, make me a trustworthy and dependable carer. Whether it's engaging in meaningful conversations, going for walks, or pursuing hobbies like puzzles, photography, and DIY projects, I strive to create a supportive and enriching environment for those under my care.
In addition to my professional attributes, I am an avid cat lover who finds solace in the companionship of feline friends. My motivation for being a carer stems from my desire to empower individuals to lead independent lives while offering the care and assistance they need.
