Description
Hello, I'm Victoria P, a compassionate and experienced home carer specializing in live-in, hourly, and overnight care. Over the years, I have provided dedicated support to individuals with a range of conditions such as Mild Cognitive Impairment, Bedbound, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, and Depression. With a genuine desire to help others lead independent lives, I find fulfillment in offering personalized care and companionship to those in need.
With a background in assisting with bathing, toileting, dressing, catheter care, and providing much-needed companionship, I bring a wealth of practical skills to my caregiving role. As someone who loves animals, I am comfortable around pets such as cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active by going for walks, as well as indulging in my passion for cooking and baking. Puzzles, reading, and unwinding with TV shows are among my favorite pastimes.
Known for my caring nature, friendly demeanor, and a genuine desire to be helpful, I approach each caregiving opportunity with empathy and dedication. I am motivated by the positive impact I can make in the lives of those I care for, and I take pride in fostering a warm and supportive environment for my clients. With the ability to drive and a commitment to providing top-notch care, I am excited about the opportunity to connect with individuals in need of reliable and compassionate support.

Hi Claire, Victoria took care of my mother for five years back in 2000 onwards. This is when we lived in Hertfordshire. She assisted with everything related to mums live in care. If not for her mother would not have lived as long as she did. Victoria is a dedicated carer. Mum loved her dearly. She was by her side night and day at the later stages in her life. She helped with physical therapy when mum was able. She took mum out when she could on social occasions or just for a coffee. Victoria stayed with mum at the hospital/gp if mum had to go there. She did mom's hair, kept her skin in good shape where she would not get bed sores. Victoria is a blessing to the long term care industry. I recommend her highly for any caregiving position or any other position for that matter. You can call me if you have any other questions about the role she provided. She is a good listener and a fast learner. I am not aware of any disciplinary, cautions, criminal activity, actions of any sort against being a carer. We still keep in touch from time to time. I’m retired now. Kind regards Joe Anea 07514453500
