Description
My name is Martha Alice Burrett, but I prefer to be called Alice. Original I'm Zimbabwean. I'm a jolly grandma my grandchildren keep busy when they come around. Who I become a carer, I was about 15 and voluntary at our community to help in church to look after children in orphanage. My grandmother came to life with us she had dementia, by then we knew nothing about dementia. So I helped our mum looking after our grandmother with my sisters.
Came to England in 2000 and then 2002 I started working with Bupa nursing home for 5 years. Worked with elderly people with dementia, from there I went to work with elderly with learning disabilities and at the same time working with agency doing cleaning jobs at school and offices.

You will experience how it is to live with someone and you learn to know your client better and know other people's cultures and stand understand othe people in life. I have worked in residential homes with different cases. Some will parkinsonism,with end of life,down syndrome. Worked in children home some abused,some drug addiction, some left they home with different issues. I'm very hard working lady who always put my client first. What to see that my client are safe at their home. I'm a caring person and easy to approach good team work. Good listener and good communication. That's good about carer you need be someone who have a good communication and good listener.

I enjoy it cause you come to work with excitement to meet different challenges or look forward to help with something different, cause you find that most of the days it's different with our clients, though most you keep routine. I like help other people special those un

Alice looked after mum for over a year until the end of her life. She made a commitment to take care of her even though she had planned to move back to Scotland. Even when mum was at her worst with the dementia Alice showed love care and patience For this we will be forever grateful and consider her part of the family. Any body who is lucky enough to have Alice care for a loved one can trust her in every way including dealing with the medical services Alice is amazing and super professional and loving.
