Description
My name is Susan I and I am a female home carer with a passion for helping others. With over 5 years of experience in the field, I have had the privilege of caring for individuals with a range of needs such as Mild Cognitive Impairment, Bedbound, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, and Depression. I am skilled in providing assistance with everyday activities including bathing, toileting, dressing, catheter care, and companionship.
I am proud to say that I am a caring and friendly individual who genuinely enjoys being able to make a positive difference in someone's life. I believe in treating every individual with respect and dignity, and I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment for those under my care.
In addition to my caregiving skills, I am also a competent driver with my own car, which allows me to provide reliable transportation for my clients. This means that I am able to assist with running errands or accompanying individuals to appointments or social outings.
When I am not working, I enjoy a variety of hobbies including walking, dancing, cooking & baking, reading, and watching TV. I also have a love for animals and am comfortable caring for pets. Whether it's cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, or birds, I am more than happy to give them the attention and care they need.
What motivates me the most in my caregiving role is the opportunity to help people lead independent lives and to be a source of support during challenging times. I find great satisfaction in knowing that I am making a positive impact on someone's life and I am committed to providing the highest quality of care possible.
