CF43 4RH 64166 Overnight/Hourly calls only at the moment, currently only have some availability mon-fri. I am a driver and will travel for calls as long as it fits in with current obligations. I have seven years experience as a carer and have learned how to promote dignity and independence in clients through my previous work. I understand that not all people have the same requirements and that everyone likes different approaches to the same activity. I'm personable, intuitive, efficient, and have a good understanding of how to make clients as comfortable as possible with every task. I enjoy figuring out the best approach to use when dealing with people who have dementia, I find it especially rewarding when I get a positive response with something. I also enjoy finding different ways of working if something doesn't work for clients, I'm adaptable and like making things easier for people. I'm an avid reader and also write in my spare time. I used to work in the hospitality industry for 15 years and was a relief manager for pubs and restaurants around South Wales. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"4, 5","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"4","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"4, 5","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"4","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"4","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

I think that says everything. I put others before myself and have a genuine interest in helping. I have a good sense of humour which borders on the wacky at times. We will have a good giggle. I'm good-hearted and the kindest person you'll ever meet. My current service user tells people that "everybody needs a Kelvin". I am an author of two humorous poetry books and I am an artist. I had an exhibition of my work at the dare valley country park art gallery in 2017. My current passion is classic cars I am restoring a 1972 rover P6 v8 and I drive a 1961 triumph herald. I am a pet lover, owning three dogs and have had cats, rabbits, birds and fish in the past. I love music from the 60s 70s and 80s. I own an old fashioned eight track player and have quite a nice collection of oldies. I generally have a lot of availability Monday to Friday as I'm only contracted to work weekends for my current service user. ****I can work 7 days as a live in carer a few times a year to coincide with my annual leave and can travel up to 200 miles for such an appointment. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"1","field_care_type_first":"1","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"1","field_care_type_second":"1","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"1","field_care_type_third":"1","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"1","field_care_type_fourth":"1","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"1","field_care_type_fifth":"1","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"1","field_care_type_sixth":"1","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"1","field_care_type_seven":"1"}

I'm originally from London and now reside in South Wales. I have been a carer for 13 years. I first started providing private care when my nan fell ill, I was her main carer, I enjoyed it very much and my nan encouraged me to sign up with an agency. Since then, I have worked for numerous domiciliary agencies, nursing homes, residential homes, mental health homes, in schools and live-in companies. Throughout the years, I have experience with personal care, moving and handling, washing and dressing, changing pads, using health-care equipment, emptying catheters and attaching catheters to the night bags, prompting and administrating medications (tablets and liquids), companionship, cooking fresh meals and light cleaning. Prompting and feeding meals and prompting to drink fluids throughout the day. Also, going out with my clients, accompanying them to the doctors and hospital appointments. Doing their general shopping and run errands for my clients like picking up medications from the pharmacy. I have experience with clients who have suffered from dementia, cancer and clients with challenging behaviour. I've also provided care for clients who had parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis(MS), brain disease, bed-bound patients, end of life and palliative care. I love my role as a carer and I understand my duties. I work with people who rely on me for full or additional support. I don't see myself doing anything else. I do enjoy listening to my clients life stories - growing up, how they lived and all their amazing stories. I am confident in my role as a carer and I know each client is different. I hope with all my experience you will accept me as your carer. In my own time I enjoy walking and taking in the local scenery. I am a Born Again Christian - when I'm not working my husband and I do God's work. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":true,"field_care_type_sixth":"1, 4, 5, 3","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":true,"field_care_type_seven":"1, 4, 5, 3"}
