Description

Hi, I'm a 38 year old female with a wealth of experience in the care sector. I have worked in the care industry for 15 years, specialising in mental health, learning disabilities and children's care. I have worked with many other clients in the past, including the elderly, drug rehabilitation, and brain injury, to name a few. I have also completed tenancy support contracts supporting clients to secure their tenancies. I currently have a level 4 health and social care NVQ.

Personally, I have experience with caring for a friend who had secondary progressive MS, a partner who had N-Stage 4 Cancer and have cared for my ex partners 2 autistic sons along with my daughter who is also Autistic.

I'm very active and enjoy going out and doing things in the community. Going to the beach, shopping, walking my dogs, etc. I also like swimming, bowling, trampolining etc. When I'm home, I like watching Australian soaps and comedy films as well as cooking and property renovations.

I can call from 2-8 hours a day, depending on your needs. If you need to travel, I am happy to support you on public transport or using my own car. £22 per weekday hourly rate
£35 per evening, weekend, or bank holiday hourly rate
£50 per waking night hourly rate
£150 per sleep shift (10pm - 8am)
£300 per live in daily rate
£900 per live in weekly rate
£50 per hour emergency hourly rate (less than 24 hours notice)

Any travel using my personal car is charged at 45p per mile rounded up to the nearest mile.

Given the current economic crisis, I need to charge 45p per mile to your property from my home address.

Any out of pocket expenses from any activities are paid for, by the client, for myself prior to the activity in order for the activity to go ahead (eg, parking, drinks/snacks, entry to activities if unable to get free carers entry, hotels if going away etc.)

Invoices are sent out, for the month, by the 24th of the previous month. Invoices need to
