Description
I am a retired qualified accountant who was a carer for my father for two years that he lived with Alzeimer's and Vascular Dementia. I was able to appreciate the loneliness and helplessness that elderly people go through. Taking care of my father taught me to be patient, understanding and the value of companionship and empathy.
In the last few years I have worked as a carer for various people with Alzheimer's, Dementia, Learning Disabilities, Accident injuries and incapacity. Being able to empower and re-enable people to feel loved while respecting their independence and privacy has given me satisfaction in my new vocation.
I love watching sports on Television especially football, taking walks in the countryside and occasionally i enjoy playing a round of golf.
