Description
I am passionate about helping people. I believe in a person centred approach to care with respect, dignity and empathy. I am punctual, reliable and hard working.
I have over 10 years experience working in many different areas of care- from companionship to 24 hour nursing care. I have experience with stoma care, catheter care and PEG/NG feeding. I have also worked with many end of life patients. I have a lot of experience in working with Parkinson’s and stroke patients.
I became a carer simply because I love helping people and find it rewarding. I treat every client with the utmost dignity and respect and care for them as I would want my own family to be cared for.
I enjoy baking, going for long walks and spending time with my family.

Welna was honestly lovely to have looking after my mum. She was so respectful and compassionate. Mum trusted her and they had a special bond. She was excellent at the nursing side of her job.
