Description
I am a kind caring individual, who likes to bring a sense of companionship to anyone I work with.
I have been actively caring since my younger days supporting my grandmother, and more recently my own mother who has been diagnosed with dementia and vast amount of mental health issues.
I have worked with people who suffer with dementia, mild to severe. I worked as a private personal assistant to a lady who had late stage dementia, this was double handed calls.
medication reminders
Companionship
Personal care-assisting with dressing and strip washes and basic meal prep.
Light house duties
My interest are cooking, travelling and the odd bit of retail therapy.
I’m very family oriented and always strive to give my family the best possible life I can.
I originally come from an educational administration background but since 2021, due to my mothers diagnoses.
I wanted to work within the work sector and more recently studying health and social care along working.
Being a carer has been one of my most favourite jobs by far.
I love supporting people and families and the appreciation given for the smallest take is something I’ve never experienced in a regular job.
