Find trusted Malayalam-speaking carers

My working week in Swindon is a mix of hourly visits and overnight stays, and I find I enjoy both in different ways, whether that is helping someone start the day with a wash and breakfast or simply being there through the night so they feel safe and settled. One thing that sets my care apart is language. Alongside English I speak German, Spanish, French and Malayalam, and I have found this genuinely helps, whether it is chatting away in someone's first language or just making a client feel a little more at home when English isn't their most comfortable tongue. Over three years I have supported people living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, heart disease, cancer and a good number of other conditions, and I am confident with hands on care including bathing, toileting, hoist use, catheter care and wound dressing, as well as medication reminders and cooking. I also take on the practical side, laundry and light cleaning included, so the whole day runs more smoothly for the people I support. If any of this sounds like what you need, I would be glad to hear from you and talk through how I can help.

A good week for me in Corby is one with a proper mix of hourly visits and overnight stays, and the part I enjoy most is simply being good company, sharing a meal, a walk, or just sitting and talking things through. My working life has taken me from India and Saudi Arabia to the UK, including time at John Radcliffe Hospital and Triangle Nursing Home, and that range of settings has taught me to stay calm and adaptable with whoever I am supporting. Day to day, I support people with dementia, Parkinson's, diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as those recovering from surgery, living with cancer, or needing end of life care. I am confident with the practical side, bathing, dressing, moving and handling, catheter and colostomy care, wound dressing and medication reminders, but I try never to let the task crowd out the conversation. Cooking together, a bit of gardening, music or photography talk, whatever helps the day feel less like a routine and more like time well spent. I speak English, Hindi, Malayalam and Tamil, and keep my DBS check current, because trust matters in someone's home. If any of this sounds like the support your family is looking for, I would be glad to have a relaxed chat whenever it suits you.
