Find trusted GA-speaking carers

When I am not caring for someone, you will likely find me in the kitchen trying out a new recipe, or with a needle and thread on an embroidery project. I bring that same homely energy into my work. Based in Sidcup, I offer live-in and overnight care and have spent seven years supporting people with a wide range of conditions, including dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, heart disease and end of life care. Speaking Akan, English, Fante and Ga also means I can connect with clients and families in the language that feels most comfortable to them. What I enjoy most is the company side of caring, sitting down for a proper chat, cooking a meal together or just having the television on and someone to share the evening with. Alongside that, I am comfortable with the practical side too, from bathing and dressing to catheter care, hoist assistance and medication reminders, so families know the personal care is well looked after while I focus on making everyday life feel warmer and less lonely. If you are looking for a carer who will bring genuine company as well as steady, experienced support, I would love to hear from you.

Hello, my name is Evelyn and I've been a home carer for 16 years. I've worked with a variety of clients, from those with dementia and traumatic brain injuries to those with autism spectrum disorders and learning disabilities. One of the things I love about home care is that every day is different. I never know what kind of challenges I'll face and I enjoy the challenge of helping my clients live as independently as possible. I'm a caring reliable and friendly person and I believe that home care is about more than just providing care. It's about building relationships and providing support. I'm excited to hear from you and see if I can be of assistance.

Most of my week is spent visiting clients in and around Northolt for hourly care, and the moments I value most are the quiet ones with people living with dementia, sitting beside them, listening, and finding whatever helps them feel settled again. I once spent an evening watering plants with a gentleman who was anxious about a garden he had promised his late wife he would tend, and just being outside with him brought his confidence back. Another time, humming a favourite song alongside an anxious lady changed her whole mood within minutes. Six years of this work has taught me that patience and gentle presence matter more than rushing anyone through a routine. Day to day, I help with the practical things too, washing and dressing, medication reminders, moving and handling, catheter care, cooking and light housework, alongside companionship. I support people with a wide range of conditions, from Parkinson's and stroke to arthritis, respiratory illness and end of life care, and I speak Akan, Twi, Fante and Ga as well as English, which sometimes makes a real difference to clients who feel more at home in those languages. I listen closely to people's stories, whether about their old jobs or their gardens, because that is often where the trust starts. If you are looking for a calm, steady presence for yourself or a family member, I would be glad to have a chat whenever it suits you.
