▶ Watch Intro

"I have experience working independently, which I did for five years while employed by an agency. I worked shifts lasting from 5 to 12 hours in one household. The clients I have cared for have had Parkinson's, brain injuries, and required companionship, but most of my work has been with dementia and palliative care. I love working with people and feel it’s a privilege to care for them at the end of their lives. My clients' ages have ranged from 17 to 107 years old. I enjoy classical music, reading non-fiction, growing my own fruit and vegetables, and I have a love for all animals."

🏅 Top-Rated Local Carer

"Having worked for the NHS Rapid Response Team and Seaton Nursing Bank, I have moved up and down the country with the forces, gaining experience in various nursing and residential care roles. As an auxiliary support worker and HCA within the NHS, I have been in care for 35 years. I have also worked for Devon County as an Enabler for adults with autism. I enjoy working independently and taking full responsibility. I take pleasure in my job and look forward to overnight and live-in stays with continuity, building trust, reassurance, and confidence with my clients. Clients appreciate continuity and feel secure with the same carer visiting, making it important to build confidence and trust. I have up-to-date Covid vaccinations to put your mind at rest. I enjoy cleaning, ironing, and washing if required during the night. I have hands-on experience with stoma care, hoisting (both with ceiling tracks and manual), glide sheets, manual handling, repositioning, peg feeding, and pressure care. At 60, I completed a degree in Animal Science, and I enjoy the company of companion animals, caring for them and ensuring their good welfare. I have also worked for Cats Protection, assisting with rehoming and home checks. I have a happy disposition and enjoy looking through photo albums with my clients and discussing the past. I enjoy walking and visiting foreign destinations, and I maintain a positive outlook. Nothing really phases me in nursing and care, and I keep up with modern technology and medications, adhering to NHS guidelines. I give 100% to my clients and engage them in activities such as baking, cooking, board games, Scrabble, and cards. Saying in jest, I love Cornwall ❤️. If anyone lives in Cornwall, it holds good memories for me. Please do contact me, even if just for a chat about your parents' needs. It's always good to put a face to the name and discuss your mum or dad's routine and requirements."
