Find trusted French-speaking carers

My name is Claudia Miriam G, and I am a compassionate and experienced home carer with a deep passion for helping others. With a wealth of experience in providing care to individuals with various conditions, including Parkinson's Disease, Osteoporosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Heart Disease, I am well-equipped to support clients with diverse needs. I offer a range of care types, including live-in, hourly, and overnight care, to ensure that my clients receive the attention and assistance they require. One of my key strengths is my ability to provide personalized care tailored to each individual's specific requirements. From assisting with bathing, toileting, and dressing to providing catheter care and companionship, I ensure that my clients feel comfortable and supported in their daily lives. With the ability to drive and access to my own car, I can also help clients with transportation to appointments, errands, and social outings, enabling them to maintain a sense of independence and freedom. Outside of my caregiving role, I enjoy a variety of hobbies that bring joy and relaxation into my life. Whether it's going for walks, dancing, cooking and baking, solving puzzles, or capturing moments through photography, I believe in fostering a well-rounded lifestyle that allows me to recharge and stay energized. Additionally, I have a soft spot for pets, including cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds, and I appreciate the companionship and comfort they bring to both myself and my clients. With a caring, friendly, and helpful nature, I am committed to supporting individuals in leading fulfilling and independent lives through my work as a dedicated home carer.

With many years of hands-on experience supporting people living with Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, I understand that excellent care is about much more than meeting physical needs. I build trusting relationships, provide reassurance during periods of confusion or anxiety, and adapt my approach to each individual’s personality, history, and preferences.
