Description
I am naturally caring by nature and like looking after others, so it was a career that always interested me. It is very rewarding to give someone a better quality of life. I also feel strongly there is no place like home and live-in care is a hugely positive alternative to care homes for elderly people. The live-in lifestyle suits me because it means I have no overheads and can save for the future. I also love spending time with the elderly – talking to them, cooking for them.
I have an extensive experience of working in the care system as a support worker and enjoy the practical aspects of the job.
I have had previous experience of working in a support role helping people with learning difficulties. last I would like to work on a permanent basis and believe that I would be able to stand up to the challenges that this role will bring.
I enjoy working with people from all walks of life be it children, the elderly or people with mental or physical problems and I am happy to do a mixture of this.
I am organised, thorough and dedicated to my work, I have a strong personality and able to deal with most difficult situations as they arise. I am happy to do whatever training I need to do to ensure that I have the relevant experience to do my role effectively.
I am fully vaccinated had 5 vaccination.
