Description
Hi, I'm joanne or Jo, I live in Greatstone along with my children, who age between 13 and 25.
I have a good sence of humor but am also very compassionate and caring.
I have had my own companies before and worked as a PA. I decided to change my career a year ago as I feel I have alot to give caring as I have patience and empathy along with a loving personality.
I have had many years experience caring for family members and friends along with my children. My eldest child is disabled so I have done many many courses on various types of illnesses.
I have been caring professionally visiting clients in there homes.
My experience with these clients run from 28 years old to 98 years old both male and female.
I have passed every course I have been on from first aid to end of life care.
I am experienced in personal care, hoisting, end of life, dementia, medication, autism, stokes ect
My clients, have been very happy with the care they have received from me and have only gone out on my own instead of working for a company direct as I have good morals and can follow my own guidelines as care companies guidelines sometimes prevents you from caring out essential things.
I love caring , it is the most rewarding job. I am extremely empathetic with both clients and there families.
