Description
Hi I am Tochukwu and I have been a carer for more than 6 years now and this has always been my favourite activity, I enjoy caring for elderly people and most of it all helping the adults develop their talents, I believe they are all human beings you don't ignore them because of one disability or the other, I make sure I build the confidence in them and within little time you will be able to see that many of them have wonderful talents in them, and my hobbies are driving, traveling, reading, music.
I have hands on experience with electric hoist, standing aids and sliding sheets.
