Description
I have been a carer for 8 years, focusing on elderly and disability care in the community as well as residential care. I hold an NVQ2 certificate so am both experienced and up-to date on my training as well, making me a very safe pair of hands.
I am a very understanding person, I love all of my clients which shines through my work. I make a difference to the lives of others, giving them independence and companionship. I only hope that I will receive the same level of care when It comes to me.
I enjoy gardening, watching the football (sometimes in Barcelona) and looking after my family, most of whom have flown the nest. I also enjoy the books of Martina Cole and James Patterson.
Please get in touch.

I can highly recommend Claire for her cheerful helpfulness, reliability and professional approach. She helps my husband, who has Parkinson's, with bathing, dressing and toilet duties as well as companionship and overall help on an hourly basis when I am away, sometimes at quite short notice.
