Description
I have vast experience in the care industry; working in care homes with high need clients and day centres for service users with dementia as well as providing respite care. This range of experience has given me an excellent understanding of all aspects of personal care and a lot of skills to draw upon.
I am happy to perform all standard care duties in and around the home, assisting with mobility, soft exercise, walks, prompting medication and more. I also like to encourage my clients to live as individuals; encouraging independence through interaction, communication, motivation and activities. I am happy to cook meals, do the shopping and prepare my client's care plan.
I love singing and encourage my clients to sing with me. I believe it's very therapeutic.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Rachel L has been looking after my Mum for the past month attending four days a week. She is very caring and looks after Mum well. She is particularly careful when handling Mum and helps her with exercises. She communicates well with me, and lets me know if Mum is feeling unwell. I have no hesitation in recommending her.
