Olu was a great carer when she worked with my elderly mother. She is a really passionate carer for goes above and beyond for the clients she works with. She had a very impressive attention to detail when working with my mother ensuring she was meeting her needs. She always demonstrated empathy and patience and was always very positive and encouraging for my mother to take up additional activities to keep her upbeat. Olu was always reliable during her time working with us and we had no issues with her timekeeping. My mother loved having Olu as a carer, she’s the type of carer we need in a field like this.

Olu/Toyin has been great with my Mum who’s 83 and has Alzheimer’s. Olu was thrown in at the deep-end as a live-in carer for 3 weeks. Mum had just been discharged from hospital, (having spent 4 weeks on a ward with Corona and secondary pneumonia) and Mum’s weak state didn’t phase Olu at all. A physiotherapist had given Mum quite a strict regime of breathing and muscle strengthening exercises to follow, and Olu very diligently ensured Mum did them all. She also skillfully encouraged Mum to get her appetite back by cooking her lovely meals and making sure she stayed hydrated. It’s made a huge difference having Olu helping out. It was also very reassuring to have her daily written notes sometimes including photos and videos of Mum’s day. I would definitely recommend Olu as a carer to others. Thanks again, Toyin/Olu :-)!
