Description
My name is Veronica K, and I am a passionate and experienced home carer with a heart dedicated to helping others lead a comfortable and independent life. With a wide range of care types under my belt, including live-in, hourly, and overnight care, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals with various conditions such as Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, Depression, and Osteoporosis. My nurturing nature and ability to adapt to different needs have enabled me to provide top-notch care to those in my charge.
One of the key aspects of my caregiving abilities is my skill set, which includes assisting with bathing, toileting, dressing, catheter care, and providing valuable companionship. I take pride in ensuring that those under my care feel comfortable and supported in every aspect of their daily lives. Beyond my professional skills, my personal interests in walking, dancing, cooking & baking, gardening, and knitting enrich my caregiving approach and allow me to connect with individuals on a personal level.
I am a caring, friendly, and helpful individual who finds fulfillment in making a positive impact on the lives of those I assist. My motivation for pursuing a career in caregiving stems from my desire to help people maintain their independence and dignity while receiving the care and support they need. With the ability to drive and a love for animals, including cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds, I am well-equipped to provide holistic care to individuals in need, ensuring their well-being and comfort are always the top priorities.

Veronica is a person which pays attention to the little details. She is a professional carer very calm and calculated. Veronica worked with the other carer as a formidble team (Double handed as per my brothers care plan). Meals, medications, bathing and communication was always something seemed natural to her holding my brothers attention making him feel comfotable. I am lucky to work with Veronica, I leared a lot from her, I would gladly work with her again.
