Description
My name is Veronica D, and I am a passionate and experienced home carer. With a wealth of experience in the field, I have cared for individuals with a range of conditions including Mild Cognitive Impairment, Bedbound, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, and Depression. I am dedicated to providing exceptional care to help individuals lead independent lives.
As a female carer, I offer various care types including Live-in, Hourly, and Overnight care. I am reliable, compassionate, and committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for. I can also drive, and I have my own car, allowing me to easily attend to my clients' needs and provide transportation whenever necessary.
With a wide range of skills, I am adept at assisting with bathing, toileting, dressing, and catheter care. Additionally, I understand the importance of companionship and enjoy engaging with my clients to make them feel comfortable and uplifted. In my free time, I enjoy walking, dancing, cooking and baking, as well as solving puzzles. Socializing is also something I greatly enjoy, as it helps build connections and fosters a positive environment.
In addition to caring for people, I am also an animal lover. I have a fondness for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds. I believe pets can bring immense joy and companionship to individuals and can play a significant role in their overall well-being.
I am known for being caring, friendly, and helpful, and I believe these attributes are what make me an exceptional carer. I am motivated by the desire to help people lead independent lives and to provide the support they need to achieve their goals. My dedication to making a difference and my genuine passion for caring make me the ideal choice for anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate home carer.

Sadly not for me I need a carer who can take instruction and able to work without leaving the work to other staff. But a pleasant enough lady who can drive and went and got a flu jab for this job . I had high hopes and sad it didn't work out for us especially as she is local to me but she didn't like me and we cant all like everyone but i wish her well in the future
