Description
Hello, my name is Deborah and I am a female home carer with 32 years of experience in providing person centred compassionate care to individuals in need. I specialize in caring for those with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, Depression, and individuals who are bedbound.
I am proud to say that I have honed my skills in various aspects of caregiving, including bathing, toileting, and assisting with dressing. Additionally, I have experience in catheter care and providing companionship to those who may feel lonely or isolated. It brings me great joy to be able to support others in their daily activities, helping them maintain their independence and quality of life.
In addition to my caregiving skills, I have a true passion for creativity and hobbies such as painting, walking, puzzles, decorating, and embroidery. These interests not only help me unwind and stay focused, but also allow me to connect with individuals on a deeper level by engaging in activities that bring them pleasure.
Furthermore, as a pet lover, I am comfortable and enthusiastic about caring for pets. Whether it's cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, or birds, I am happy to provide any necessary assistance for their wellbeing.
My attributes as a carer are rooted in being caring, friendly, and helpful. I strongly believe in the importance of building a trusting relationship with my clients, allowing them to feel comfortable and secure while in my care. Making a positive impact on someone's life is my ultimate motivation for being a carer. I genuinely enjoy helping people lead independent lives and ensuring their comfort and happiness is priority.
If you are searching for a dedicated and compassionate carer who will go above and beyond to meet your specific needs, I would be honored to be a part of your caregiving experience.
