Description
Hello, I'm Cindy S, a dedicated and experienced female home carer with a passion for providing high-quality care and support to those in need. With a focus on hourly care, I have gained extensive experience in working with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including dementia (Alzheimer's, Vascular, etc.), learning disabilities, eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to help my clients maintain their independence and improve their quality of life.
I take pride in my ability to offer companionship and support to those in my care, while also possessing practical skills such as cooking, laundry, cleaning, and handling administrative tasks. I am known for my friendly and caring nature, traits that enable me to connect with my clients on a personal level and provide them with the assistance they require. Additionally, I am a skilled problem-solver who can adapt to various situations and challenges that may arise.
In my free time, I enjoy staying active by walking, indulging in my passion for cooking and baking, solving puzzles, socializing with friends, and unwinding by watching TV. I have a love for pets, particularly cats, dogs, and fish. My motivation for pursuing a career in caregiving stems from my deep-rooted desire to help people lead independent and fulfilling lives. I am committed to making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for and look forward to providing compassionate and reliable support to future clients.

Cindy is a safe pair of hands and has been a great help with my disabled brother. She regularly supports him out in the community and has also done emergency live-in care. She’s a really helpful person and we’re glad to have her working with my brother. She seems very experienced as a carer and is reliable and proactive.
