Find trusted Zulu-speaking carers

When a client I was looking after became anxious before a medical procedure, I went in with her and held her hand until it was done. That is the kind of carer I am. I stay close, I stay calm, and I make sure people feel less alone. I'm based in Hertfordshire and offer hourly visits, live-in care and overnight support, with over ten years behind me. Companionship sits at the heart of how I work. I have supported one client by involving her in taking part in cooking her preparation and cooking her favourite meals following recipes passed down by her Mother, gardening and ironing, simple things she loved and could still enjoy. With others I have gone along to concerts, religious services, walks in the park and shopping trips, always shaping the day around what they actually want to do. I speak English, Zulu, North Ndebele and South Ndebele, and I share my own love of cooking, music and gardening. I am also experienced caring for people with varied and some complex needs such as dementia, stroke, diabetes, mobility problems and end of life care, so practical support sits alongside the company. I have stayed with clients in hospital, adjusted my own plans at short notice, and built the kind of trust that lasts years. If that sounds like the support you're looking for, I would be glad to hear from you, whenever suits you.
