I am a carer with a good work ethic and a good amount of experience. I have looked after a variety of clients in need of care over the years, so am capable of taking on both simple and complex roles. I also have a degree in Complementary Therapies which focuses on pain relief and joint pain. I love being able to fully support my clients in all aspects of their life so that they can live safely and independently. I especially love being able to interact with my clients and get to know them and them me. I live in Croydon with my wife and children, who are the people I enjoy talking about the most in the world, so I am sure we will have alot to talk about. Please do contact me.

My start in care was three months of focused training, followed by over two years as a healthcare support assistant in a hospital setting. That grounding taught me steady routines and calm handling of all kinds of situations. For the past two years I have also supported people in their own homes here in Nottingham, offering hourly visiting care and building real trust along the way. I am patient by nature and easy to be around. I help with the everyday things, washing, dressing, medication reminders, moving and handling, as well as more involved needs like catheter care and hoist use. I have supported people with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, arthritis and heart conditions, among others, and I am comfortable with end of life care too. I speak English and Tamil, and I enjoy quiet moments as much as a chat, whether that is a card game, some music, or just having the television on together. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, I would be glad to hear from you.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before arranging care.

Enter your postcode or town in the search box and we will show carers in your area who speak Tamil.

Checks cover identity, right to work, an interview and an accepted criminal-record check: Enhanced DBS, DBS Update Service, Scottish PVG or Access NI. The acceptance window for a standalone Enhanced DBS certificate is 18 months. Update Service rechecks apply where that route is used. Check the documents and discuss skills, training and suitability for your particular care needs before booking. We do not check qualifications, training or references, so ask the carer about those directly.

Live-in carers can relocate to be with your loved one. We may suggest live-in care if hourly options are limited in your area.

Carers set their own rates, which vary by location, experience and care needs. Profile rates include our platform commission and the VAT on that commission. Agree the care, any extra services and expenses before booking. The standard contract charges bank holidays at 1.5 times the normal rate and Christmas Day at twice the normal rate. Compare like-for-like quotes for the same care and cover.

Search by your postcode and filter by language, care type and availability to see carers who fit what you need. You can message carers directly, or post a job describing what you’re looking for so that Tamil-speaking carers can apply. You choose who to talk to and who to book.

You can arrange hourly (visiting) care, overnight care, respite and full-time live-in care. Carers help with companionship, personal care, medication support, mobility, meal preparation, household tasks and getting out and about, depending on what your loved one needs.

That depends on the carers near you and how flexible you can be on times and care type. You can search and message carers straight away. If it is urgent, the urgent care finder on our emergency care page can help.

Yes. We always recommend speaking with a carer first, by message, phone or video, and arranging an introductory meeting so both sides are comfortable. There’s no obligation to proceed until you’ve found someone who feels right for your family.

For visits booked through PrimeCarers, we arrange cover where the carer does not have their own. Cover depends on the policy terms, eligibility and exclusions; check that it covers the work you agree. Our team provides platform and administrative support and can help you look for alternatives. Replacement availability and start dates need confirmation. Read the insurance information.

You agree the care with a self-employed carer and use PrimeCarers for contract, booking and payment tools. Keep bookings accurate and pay through the platform. The standard notice is 48 hours for hourly care and for live-in care before 168 hours have been worked. After 168 hours, live-in care requires 7 days. Different notice terms must be agreed in writing under the contract. Booked visits you cancel are payable under the contract, except for unplanned hospitalisation, illness or another reason agreed with your carer. Your carer may waive some or all of the charge. Read the agreement.
