Description
My name is Jessica S, and I'm a female home carer with six years of experience under my belt. I specialize in providing hourly care to my clients, and my attributes include being caring, friendly, and helpful. For me, helping people lead independent lives is a crucial motivation for being a carer, and I genuinely strive to make a difference in the lives of the people I support.
I am experienced in assisting with a wide range of care needs, including bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, companionship, and cooking. Over the years, I have developed a particular expertise in working with clients with conditions like mild cognitive impairment, bedbound patients, Parkinson's disease, anxiety, and depression. I'm always looking to expand my knowledge and skills with additional training and development opportunities.
In my free time, I enjoy taking long walks, dancing, playing card games, cooking and baking, and solving puzzles. I'm comfortable around pets and can work happily around cats, fish, rabbits, birds, turtles, and other animals. So if you're looking for a reliable, compassionate, and skilled carer, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me today.
