Julie was highly committed to looking after Mum She had sole care most days and some nights. She went above and beyond her duty and care. Mum loved her. Lovely sense of humour, kind, honest and trustworthy. She would still be with us if Mum hadn't had to go to a care centre. Regards Yvette

Julie cared for my father for the last three years of his life. She was very hardworking, reliable and personable and they got on very well. She was always prepared to go the extra mile and showed good knowledge/understanding in her role as a carer and how to ensure the wellbeing of my father.

Excellent committed carer for my father in his final 5 years whilst he was a wheelchair user and in his final 10 months bedbound. Julie was very conscientious and trustworthy. My mother and the rest of the family were very grateful for the sensitive and diligent way she looked after my father we felt he was in very safe hands. Julie remains a friend of the family and we are happy to provide any references she may need.

Julie quickly built a fantastic relationship with my mother treating her with respect, as with an older relative. The firmness needed to get things done was achieved with loving good humour.
