Hello, my name is Ann R and I am a female home caregiver with 9 years of experience in hourly care. I have been described as caring, friendly, and helpful by both my clients and their families.

In my free time, I enjoy my hobbies of painting, walking, dancing, cooking and baking, and decorating. I am also an animal lover and am comfortable caring for pets such as cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds.

Ann R is an excellent carer. She understands what it takes to give support, to be a listening ear and to show that she cares for people in many different circumstances. I helped her in caring for a very troubled child who I know today has grown into a wonderful young lady with excellent prospects in life.

Ann is a wonderful caring person, who shows great skill in her work. Whilst being a keyworker to me, she appeared professionally and liked by all the other residents. I would recommend Ann to any position within care work.
