Description
Hello I am Tabi, I am a female carer with over 6 years experience working as a Live-in Carer delivering person centred and support with tailored outcomes, with an emphasis on Dignity, Respect, Compassion, Individuality and Choice. I have a passion for helping others.
I have a wealth of experience in providing care for individuals with a variety of needs, including Mild Cognitive Impairment, Bedbound, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, Depression and other medical and complex medical and care needs. I am well-equipped to offer care and support to those in need. I specialise in live-in care.
I am a skilled carer with expertise in bathing, toileting, assisting with dressing, catheter care, meal preparation, house chores, shopping, promoting independence, responsible for all aspects of care including therapeutic activities, ordering and administration of medication, reviewing care plans, and providing much-needed companionship to those under my care. With the ability to drive and access to my own car, I am able to assist with transportation needs and errands, making sure that my clients can maintain their independence and enjoy a high quality of life. My friendly and caring nature allows me to connect with individuals on a personal level, creating a warm and trusting relationship that fosters a sense of security and comfort.
Beyond my professional skills, I have a range of hobbies that bring me joy and fulfilment outside of work. I enjoy walking, dancing, cooking and baking, solving puzzles, and gardening. My motivation for caring stems from a deep desire to help people lead independent lives and provide them with the support they need to thrive. With my attributes of being caring, friendly, and helpful, I am dedicated to making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for.

Sithabile (or Tabi as I know her) is a wonderful lady who I have known for 35 years. We worked very closely together fundraising for Amnesty International in the early 1990's (in London) & she has remained a dear friend of mine since. She is an intelligent, reliable, caring, warm, diligent, conscientious and committed lady with very high standards & morals. I know how highly-regarded she is by her work colleagues & former clients/families, and I know if I ever needed someone to care for a loved one or knew of someone needing care Tabi would be my choice. I feel sure you would be proud to have Tabi on your team

I can confirm that my experience with Tabi was exceptionally good. Tabi cared for my mother as a live-in carer for two years before Mum's passing and I will always be grateful that Mum was able to receive the warm and extremely competent care that Tabi provided in those final years. Tabi's professionalism in handling every aspect of Mum's care, from medication management to ensuring her physical comfort and safety, was truly remarkable. As Mum's needs changed, Tabi adapted seamlessly, always putting Mum's well-being first, and with utmost care and the calm confidence that many years of experience brings. Tabi provided not only excellent physical care but also great companionship to Mum, always attentive and with a calm and relaxed sense of humour, sharing and supporting Mum's love of football and love of family. I wholeheartedly recommend Tabi for any caring position - she is truly exceptional.

Tabi always treated my mother as an individual and respected her independent spirit whilst ensuring that mum was safe and cared for. We trusted her implicitly and often sought her advice and counsel as a family. Tabi combines utter professionalism with a strong sense of duty and concern for her clients. I have no hesitation in recommending her. Your faithfully Carol Hadwen

I met Tabi face to face on Thursday 13th June. She was prompt, very friendly, warm, very professional, knowledgable, motivated and had a lovely manner. She arrived with a bunch of flowers for my mother which was very thoughtful and considerate. My mother had been admitted to hospital so I took Tabi there to meet my mother. It is obvious she had a wealth of experience in the care industry and I am looking forward to her starting to care for my mother. I hope that she continues to work with my mother for many years to come.
