Description
Hello, my name is Mary K, and I am a dedicated and experienced care home carer with a passion for helping individuals lead fulfilling and independent lives. As a female carer with a wealth of experience in providing hourly and overnight care, I have specialized in supporting clients with various conditions such as mild cognitive impairment, being bedbound, depression, osteoporosis, and rheumatoid arthritis. With the ability to drive and my own car, I ensure that my clients have access to timely and reliable care whenever they need it.
My skills as a carer extend to a range of tasks, including bathing, toileting, assisting with dressing, catheter care, and providing companionship to those in need. Beyond my professional responsibilities, I am a compassionate individual with a friendly and helpful demeanor, always striving to create a warm and supportive environment for those under my care. In my free time, I enjoy indulging in hobbies such as cooking and baking, solving puzzles, gardening, socializing, and listening to music, which allows me to bring joy and creativity into the lives of those I care for.
When it comes to pet preferences, I have a soft spot for cats, fish, rabbits, birds, and turtles, understanding the valuable companionship and comfort they can bring to individuals in need. My motivation for being a carer stems from my deep-seated belief in the importance of autonomy and independence for all individuals, and I am committed to going above and beyond to ensure that my clients receive the highest quality of care and support. I look forward to the opportunity to make a positive impact in the lives of those I care for and to create meaningful connections along the way.
