Description
Hi there! My name is Raphael B, and I am an experienced male home carer. With a passion for helping others, I have dedicated my career to providing compassionate care and companionship to those in need. My expertise lies in caring for individuals suffering from Mild to moderate Cognitive Impairment, Anxiety, Depression, and Osteoporosis.
I am proud to possess a wide range of skills, including bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, catheter care, and offering companionship. By focusing on these aspects of care, I strive to ensure that my clients feel safe, comfortable, and supported in their own homes.
While I may not be able to drive or have a car of my own, I make up for it with my enthusiasm and dedication. In my free time, I enjoy pursuing various hobbies such as painting, walking, photography, DIY projects, video games, buying and restoring vintage tape decks, 3d art/animation, AI Art/Animation, electronic music creation, military aircraft. These activities not only allow me to relax and unwind but also provide me with a creative outlet that enhances my caregiving abilities.
In addition, I am open to caring for pets such as cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds. As a caring, friendly, and helpful individual, I believe that the inclusion of pets can significantly improve the overall well-being of my clients.
My motivation for being a carer stems from a deep desire to help people lead independent lives. I find immense satisfaction in knowing that my support and companionship can make a positive difference in someone's everyday life. Being able to assist individuals with their daily activities and seeing them flourish despite their challenges is a truly rewarding experience for me.
If you are in need of a dedicated male home carer who can provide compassionate care and companionship, I would be honored to be of service. Let me help you or your loved one maintain a sense of independence and well-being in the comfort of your own home.

Raphael is a nice friendly person who has always been very supportive of our son Paul and had a good relationship with him. He has been caring for our son who is autistic and epileptic which has caused many problems which Raph has always overcome. Paul has recently been diagnosed as diabetic and Raph diligently sourced healthy food and snacks when his diet had to change. Raph has always been friendly and informative hen we have visited the care home and during phone calls. We have always had confidence in Raphael's ability to care for our son and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any position in care. Yours Tim Witts
