Description
Hello, my name is Mathew, and I am a male home carer with a wealth of experience in providing hourly and overnight care to individuals with a range of health conditions. With a background in assisting clients with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, bedbound individuals, as well as those coping with anxiety and depression, I am adept at offering compassionate and skilled care tailored to each individual's unique needs.
I am proud to possess a driver's license, allowing me to readily assist clients who require transportation to appointments or outings. While I do not have a car, my ability to drive opens up opportunities for me to serve a wider range of individuals in need of support. My caregiving skills extend to tasks such as bathing, toileting, dressing assistance, catheter care, and providing companionship, ensuring that clients receive comprehensive care with dignity and respect.
Outside of my caregiving duties, I find joy in walking and socializing, hobbies that align with my caring and friendly nature. I am also a pet lover, with a preference for cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds. My motivation for being a carer stems from a deep desire to help individuals live independently and with the support they need to thrive. With attributes such as being caring, friendly, and helpful, I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for.
