Description
My name is Ivy A, and I am a female home carer with 6 years of experience in providing hourly and overnight care services. My passion for caring stems from my innate desire to help people lead independent lives. I have been fortunate to work with clients who have required specialized care due to mild cognitive impairment, bedbound, Parkinson's disease, anxiety, and depression.
Caring, friendly, and helpful describe the attributes that have enabled me to excel in my profession. I take great pride in providing compassionate care to every individual, creating a friendly environment, and ensuring that they are comfortable and safe. From bathing, toileting, assisting with dressing, catheter care, to companionship, my skill set encompasses all aspects of care.
Outside of work, I enjoy walking, dancing, cooking & baking, puzzles, and decorating. As an animal lover, I am comfortable looking after dogs. Although I can’t drive or own a car, I am willing to travel using public transport.
I am excited to make a positive impact on my client's daily lives and provide a safe and nurturing environment. If you require a home carer service for your loved one, please get in contact with me today.
