Description
My name is Kerry D, and I am a female home carer with a passion for helping others.
I have over 23 years of experience in care, combined with continuous professional development and expanding my qualifications.
With my extensive experience in caring for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, and various mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression, I am dedicated to providing the highest quality support to those in need. I specialize in hourly care, offering assistance with bathing, toileting, dressing, catheter care, and providing much-needed companionship.
I am a capable driver with my own car, allowing me to efficiently travel to my clients' homes. Beyond my technical skills, I pride myself on being a caring, friendly, and helpful companion to those under my care. My motivation for becoming a carer comes from a genuine desire to help people lead independent lives and maintain a sense of dignity and autonomy.
In my free time, I enjoy engaging in activities that rejuvenate my spirit, such as walking, cooking and baking, gardening, socializing, and reading. I also have a soft spot for pets, with a preference for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds. I believe that my diverse skills, compassionate nature, and genuine interest in supporting others make me an ideal choice for individuals seeking a dedicated and empathetic carer.
