Description
Hello, I'm Gemma, a dedicated private carer with nine years of extensive experience in providing compassionate and personalized care to individuals. My approach is firmly person-cantered, ensuring that the needs and preferences of my clients are always at the heart of my service.
With nearly a decade of experience, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals needing care assistance and their families. My background in therapeutic studies equips me with counselling skills, understanding mental health issues and safeguarding. I am furthering my studies and professional development in Chaplaincy with the NHS, as a commitment to providing holistic care.
I am a practicing liberal Christian who believes in nurturing the mind, body, and spirit. My hobbies include acting, singing, dancing, reading, and writing, and I love engaging in long conversations about current affairs and getting to know people on a deeper level. Additionally, I find great joy in spending time outdoors in nature, soaking up the sunshine.
I understand that families prefer the consistency and trust that come with employing a private carer. Unlike agencies that may send different faces through the door continuously, my services provide stability and familiarity, which are crucial for the well-being of my clients. I offer full and part-time live-in care and am willing to drive up to 2 hours for such arrangements. For those who need it, I also provide hourly care within the local area.
My expertise extends to managing domestic responsibilities, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I have up-to-date health and safety training in the kitchen and am certified in first aid, providing an added layer of security for your loved one. With my own car and full driving license, I can reliably transport clients to appointments and outings.
Choosing the right carer is a significant decision, and I am committed to providing the highest standard of care.
