Description
Hello there! My name is Vicky N and I'm an experienced home carer with more than 11 years under my belt. I'm a friendly, caring and helpful person always willing to lend a hand. My motivation for what I do stems from helping people lead independent lives, free from the constraints of their health conditions.

I'm also comfortable with pets - I love cats, dogs, fish, rabbits and turtles!
