Description
Hi my name is Gertrude, but I prefer to be Trudy for short.
Before starting a family I had 7 years experience as as carer. I learned that hard work, listening and empathy were important. The attributes grew on me when I was dealing with cases of dementia and other chronic conditions associated with advancing years. I believe patience and fully understanding a client's needs helps in providing a more comfortable life. I have experience in personal grooming, hygiene, dressing, toileting and cooking. I have missed working with the elderly and now my children are at University. I have the opportunity to return to caring. I enjoy history. current affairs, sewing, cooking and tending my small vegetable garden.
I prefer to have my clients more mobile and do not require hoisting.
As I do not drive I am looking for clients through out the day to have longer hours of 5/10 hours shifts or within travelling distance of Accrington.
I can also do sleeping nights and I am flexible on what nights I work to fit in with the clients needs.
I can also do part time live in positions ideally 3/days in row with 30 miles of Accrington, when doing live in I prefer to have my 2 hours break each day.
Please get in touch if I can be of help to you.

Trudy helped care for my Aunty for approx 4 months, working a regular 33 hours per week, working over three nights. Trudy is a fantastic carer that was always on time and tended to my Auntys every need when she cared for her alone on her shifts. Trudy is understanding and knew what was required of her from her start date, she provided a safe environment and was competent in ensuring my auntys final months were safe, dignified and respected. I would have no hesitation in recommending Trudy she really was fantastic.
