My passion for caring started when I was looking after my grandmother due to a fairly long period of illness it inspired me to work as a live in carer. I have worked as a self employed carer and travelled around the UK looking after different clients. Many of them I have fond memories of and keep in contact with the family.
Professionally I have worked with many clients who have had all different care needs and I have gained a lot of experience, confidence and skills.
My role as a live in carer varies from client to client due to the level of care required it is important to always read the care plan to provide a high quality standard of care.
On a day to day basis my role requires understanding, patient, good communication skills and empathy.
