Description
Hello, my name is Evelyn and I've been a home carer for 16 years. I've worked with a variety of clients, from those with dementia and traumatic brain injuries to those with autism spectrum disorders and learning disabilities. One of the things I love about home care is that every day is different. I never know what kind of challenges I'll face and I enjoy the challenge of helping my clients live as independently as possible. I'm a caring reliable and friendly person and I believe that home care is about more than just providing care. It's about building relationships and providing support. I'm excited to hear from you and see if I can be of assistance.

Dear Annette Chivrall I am writing to provide a reference for Evelyn, who has worked in the care industry for several years. I had the pleasure of working with Evelyn for a number of years at Carevision, and I can confidently say that she is an exceptional employee. Throughout her time with us, Evelyn demonstrated an unwavering commitment to providing high-quality care to all of our clients. She consistently went above and beyond to ensure that their needs were met, and she approached her work with compassion, empathy, and a positive attitude. Evelyn is an excellent communicator and always maintained open and respectful lines of communication with clients, their families, and her colleagues. She is a skilled problem-solver, and her ability to think on her feet and respond to unexpected situations was invaluable to our team. Evelyn is a true professional and a dedicated caregiver, and I have no doubt that she would be an asset to any organization in the care industry. I wholeheartedly recommend her for any role that involves caring for others. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions about Evelyn or her work with us. Kind Regards Dr K Vivas

Evelyn S is a great carer. I have known her for almost 20 years. She’s a team player, diligent, punctual, and uses a people centred approach in caring for the elderly. She respects their privacy and dignity and works hard in accordance with national law and the policy and procedure of the service provider. I am proud and ever ready to recommend her to any proactive service provider and / or company.
