Description
I have proven over time to be trustworthy and capable Carer. I have First Class communication skills and an experienced facilitator with good organisational skills. I have over the last 30yrs worked with a variety of clients tending to their individual needs. I work closely with Family, Friends and other Health care professionals' in delivering an exceptional level of care. I have attended Social Services meetings and organised PIP interviews assisting when required. If possible I like to take my Clients out Shops, cinema etc.. depending on their mobility.

Andrea cared for my mother when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and we couldnt have asked for anyone better. Andrea provided professional, quality care and nothing was ever too much trouble. She was friendly, warm and experienced which provided my mother, and the family, with confidence that she was in great hands. I would highly recommend Andrea and will be forever thankful for all her support.
