Description
I come from a family of carers and have always wanted to become a carer myself. Meeting people from all walks of life as a carer, I have seen just how beneficial high-quality care is for all. I am very enthusiastic about making a difference in peoples lives and find it deeply rewarding.

I strive to provide the best level of care possible to my customers by establishing strong trusting relationships actively engaging them in conversation and creating a safe environment.
I have supported individuals affected by a broad range of health conditions in professional settings. I have promoted independence and offered continuous encouragement to help aid and recovery process. I have supported customers affected by advanced dementia, epilepsy, spinal injuries, brain injuries, cancer, stroke, Parkinson's, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, down's syndrome and autism.
