Description
My name is Amanda W and I'm a home carer with 10 years of experience. I care for people on an hourly or overnight basis, and I also have experience in caring for people with mild cognitive impairment, bedbound patients, and those affected by Parkinson's disease or anxiety and depression. I'm a friendly and caring person, and I love helping people to live independent lives. I'm also happy to provide any necessary assistance with bathing, toileting, and dressing. I use public transport so I'm able to travel to patients' homes, and I also have experience in caring for pets (cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, birds). If you're in need of a home carer, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me.
