Description
My name is Socorrinha F, and I am a female home carer with a passion for helping others. With years of experience under my belt, I have specialized in providing overnight care to those in need. I have worked with individuals facing various challenges, such as Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, anxiety, and depression. I am well-versed in their unique needs and am committed to providing top-quality care.
One of my key attributes is my ability to provide personal care assistance. I am skilled in tasks such as bathing, toileting, dressing, and catheter care, ensuring that my clients are always comfortable and their dignity is maintained. However, my care goes beyond the practicalities. I believe in the importance of companionship and making connections with my clients. I strive to create a warm, friendly environment where they feel valued and supported.
Outside of my caregiving role, I enjoy a range of hobbies, including walking, cooking and baking, decorating, gardening, and socializing. These activities not only bring me joy but also allow me to bring a positive energy to my caregiving work. Additionally, I am open to having pets in the home, as I have a love for animals and am comfortable taking care of cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds.
Ultimately, my motivation for being a carer stems from wanting to help people lead independent lives. I believe that with the right support and assistance, even those facing physical or cognitive challenges can maintain their autonomy and live a fulfilling life. My caring nature, friendly demeanor, and helpful attitude make me a suitable choice for anyone seeking compassionate care.

I worked with Socorrinha for 2 yrs. It was a pleasure working with her. She is reliable when it comes to any task you allocated to her and she is always willing to extend a hand when needed. She is very caring to her residents and ensures that they are happy with her care. I wish her all the best.
