Description
Hello, my name is Alina Surdu and I am a female home carer with extensive experience in providing support to individuals in their own homes. I specialize in hourly and overnight care, offering compassionate assistance to those in need.
Throughout my years of experience, I have worked with a variety of clients, including those who are bedbound, living with Parkinson's Disease, anxiety and depression. I understand the unique challenges that each individual faces and strive to provide the highest level of care and support.
Although I do not drive and do not have a car, I am skilled in a wide range of caregiving tasks. From assisting with bathing and toileting to providing support with dressing , I am committed to promoting the independence and well-being of my clients.
In addition to my caregiving skills, I also have a range of hobbies that I enjoy, such as painting, walking, decorating, gardening, and photography. These activities help me maintain a balanced and fulfilling life outside of my professional work.
While working with clients, I am friendly, caring, and always willing to go the extra mile to provide a comfortable and supportive environment. I find great satisfaction in helping individuals lead independent lives and preserving their dignity as they navigate their day-to-day challenges.
If you are seeking a dedicated and experienced home carer, look no further. I would be honored to offer my assistance and compassionate care to you or your loved ones.

I knew Alina for 18 months, first as a live in carer for an elderly friend of mine and subsequently as a friend. Alina is a mature, sensible and sensitive lady who is aware of her responsibilities when looking after an elderly client. Alina is compassionate, conscientious and a good communicator. I highly recommend Alina as a carer for all ages and situations.
