Description
Hi, I'm Mary K, a passionate and experienced home carer. As a female carer with extensive knowledge and expertise in live-in and hourly care, I have dedicated my career to providing the best possible support to those in need.
Throughout my years as a carer, I have gained valuable experience in assisting individuals with various health conditions, including mild cognitive impairment, being bedbound, osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and heart disease. This experience has equipped me with the skills and understanding necessary to provide personalized care that meets the specific needs of each individual.
Although I do not own a car, I am a licensed driver and ensure reliable transportation for my clients whenever necessary. Alongside my driving abilities, I am also proficient in essential care tasks such as bathing, toileting, and assistance with dressing. Moreover, I believe that companionship is of utmost importance in promoting emotional well-being, and I strive to be a friendly and helpful presence for all those in my care.
Outside of work, I am a social individual who enjoys walking, cooking and baking, reading, and watching TV. These hobbies not only bring me joy, but they also provide me with a sense of balance that I believe is crucial in maintaining my own mental and emotional well-being.
My motivation for caring is deeply rooted in my passion for helping people lead independent lives. Witnessing the positive impact of my support and the happiness it brings to those I care for is incredibly rewarding. This, combined with my caring, friendly, and helpful attributes, makes me confident in my ability to provide exceptional care and companionship to anyone in need.
If you are looking for a dedicated and compassionate carer who can not only meet your care needs but also provide companionship and support, please do not hesitate to get in touch. I would be honored to be a part of your care journey.
