Find trusted Tswana-speaking carers

Music and dancing keep me going. So do card games and a good puzzle when I want to slow down. I bring that same energy into my work, based in Southampton, where I offer hourly, live-in and overnight care. Fourteen years in care have taught me that company matters as much as any task. I like to sit and talk, share a meal, or get out for a walk together. I've supported people with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, learning disabilities and physical disabilities, among many others, and I always try to bring conversation and warmth alongside the practical help, whether that's bathing, dressing, medication reminders or moving and handling. I also speak Arabic, Chichewa, Southern Sotho, Tswana and Zulu, which sometimes makes a real difference for clients. I'd love the chance to meet you or your family and talk through what support would help most.

My name is Sibongile Precious N and I am a home carer with 13 years of experience. I work with a live-in care model and I am comfortable with caring for people who suffer from illnesses such as dementia (Alzheimer, Vascular, etc.), learning disabilities, eating disorders, anxiety, depression, among others. I enjoy spending time with my clients and engaging them in various activities such as walking, card games, cooking & baking, puzzles, and gardening. I am also comfortable with pets, and am happy to work with both cats and dogs. If you are interested in my services, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me.

Some mornings start with a hoist transfer and a chat about the day ahead, others with a quiet cup of tea and a game of cards. That mix is what I enjoy about care work, based in Peterborough and offering hourly visits, overnight support and live-in care to suit whatever a family needs. I've spent three years building the kind of practical skills that help people stay comfortable and as independent as possible at home: washing, dressing, moving and handling, medication reminders, catheter and colostomy care, and cooking meals people actually look forward to. I've supported people living with dementia, Parkinson's, stroke, motor neurone disease, respiratory illness and a good many other conditions, so I'm used to adapting to whatever the day brings rather than following a script. Speaking English, South Ndebele, Shona, Southern Sotho, Tswana and Zulu also means I can connect with people from different backgrounds in their own language. Outside of work I keep busy with walking, dancing, baking and the odd jigsaw puzzle, so there's always something to chat about while I get on with the practical side of things. If you're looking for steady, hands on support from someone who takes the time to get it right, I'd love to hear from you.
