Description
My name is Alcia F, and I have been working as a home carer for over three years now. I am a female carer who specializes in providing hourly and overnight care for people in need. One of my core values is to help people lead independent and dignified lives, and it's what motivates me to do what I do best - care for others.
With my friendly and caring demeanor, I connect well with my clients and try to provide them with the support they need emotionally, physically, and mentally. I am patient and understanding and enjoy providing companionship to my clients. My skills include assistance with dressing, bathing, toileting, and catheter care. I have experience caring for people with Parkinson's disease, anxiety, rheumatoid arthritis, and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME).
Outside of care work, my hobbies include walking, cooking, baking, decorating, DIY, and socialising. I am also a pet lover and enjoy spending time with cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and turtles. As a driver with my own car, I can easily travel to different locations and accommodate individual needs.
If you are looking for a carer who is caring, attentive, and friendly, then do not hesitate to contact me. I am always ready and willing to help, and I will be honoured to be the one to make a difference in your loved one's life.
