Description
My name is Bridget K and I am a compassionate and friendly female home carer. With five years of experience, I have gained valuable skills and knowledge in different care types including live-in and overnight care. I am motivated by the desire to help people lead independent lives and provide the assistance they need. Although I can't drive and don't own a car, I make up for it with my caring nature and helpful demeanor.
As a caregiver, I offer a range of services including bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, catheter care, and companionship. I have experience working with patients with mild cognitive impairment, bedbound individuals, Parkinson's disease patients, and people who suffer from anxiety and depression. Using my skills and expertise, I am able to offer support to clients in a professional and caring way.
In my free time, I enjoy walking, dancing, cooking & baking, socialising, and listening to music. I also love dogs and would be happy to have them as part of the home I'm working in. If you are looking for a reliable, caring, and friendly caregiver, please get in contact with me. I would be more than happy to discuss how I can help you or your loved one.
