Description
Hi, my name is Jose. I have been a caregiver for over 8 years, looking after the elderly and vulnerable adults in both residential care homes and within their own homes. I have also spent some of this time as a live-in carer, helping clients live comfortably within their family home.
I have experience supporting people with eating disorders, dementia, confusion, diabetes, cancer and those recovering from CVA (Stroke). I feel very passionate about promoting independence and giving my clients choice with their daily activities.
In my spare time, I enjoy painting, drawing, sewing, decorating, cooking, reading, gymnastics, swimming and shopping for antiques. I'm passionate about life, always cheerful and always willing to help people in every way.

I am an electric wheelchair user and require support for manual handling with a hoist, washing, dressing, preparing meals etc. I worked with Jose on a number of occasions where he provided cover for my carers. Jose was always reliable and was there when he said he would be. He provided a very good level of care and was always very enthusiastic with the work he was doing. I would definitely recommend Jose for providing personal care.
