Description
Hi, my name is Margaret and I've been a home carer for almost 20 years. I started out caring for elderly people with dementia and Alzheimer's, but I've since expanded my skills to include caring for people with other conditions, such as traumatic brain injuries, eating disorders, and anxiety or depression. I love my work and feel very lucky to be able to help people live independent lives.
I'm a friendly and caring person, and I always go the extra mile to make sure my clients are comfortable and happy. I can provide assistance with bathing, dressing, moving and handling, and medication reminders, among other things. I also have a lot of experience dealing with dementia patients and I know how to keep them calm and safe. I attend many training over the years in addition to mandatory training, I extended my study to high education in health and social care degree.
If you're looking for a home carer who is kind, helpful, and has a lot of experience in a variety of care settings, then please get in touch with me. I'd be happy to discuss your needs and see how I can help.
