Description
There is something grounding about cooking a proper meal with someone rather than just for them, and it is one of the small rituals I bring into my visits. I have been providing hourly and visiting care around Manchester for six years, working with people living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke and a wide range of physical and cognitive conditions, and I speak both Czech and English, which has meant a lot to some of the families I have supported.
What I enjoy most is adapting to whoever I am with that day. Some visits call for quiet companionship and a steady hand with bathing or dressing, others need real technical care such as hoist transfers, catheter care or supporting someone who is bedbound, and I am equally comfortable with both. I try to keep things unhurried and good humoured, because I have found that people relax more when the person helping them is calm rather than clock watching.
Away from work I am happiest walking, gardening, baking something new or listening to music, and I think that sense of everyday enjoyment carries through into how I care for people. If you are looking for someone reliable, warm and genuinely easy to have in your home, I would love to meet you or your family and talk through what support might help.

I needed help with shopping in tesco. I needed the wheelchair and trolley with built in seat. So glad I had Veronica to help me. I found Veronica to be kind caring heart of gold. Veronica is a credit to the caring industry and a lovely person and will look forward to many more visits.
