Description
Hi, my name is Deborah and I'm a home carer. I started caring when I lived in Spain for a gentleman with Parkinson's. Then I cared for my father at his end of life needs. I loved the role so much that I decided to do it as a career. I'm kind, caring,patient and friendly, and I love helping people lead independent lives. I currently have experience caring for people with dementia, and physical and learning disabilities in a secondary school, and teens with emotional needs and I love working with pets too. I'm motivated by the idea of helping people feel comfortable and at home in their own homes, and I feel like home care is a really important job. I have a car and driver's licence, and I'm happy to do overnight care as well. If you're interested in getting in touch, please let me know.
Kindest regards
Debbie ❤️
