▶ Watch Intro

"My name is Precious. I have worked with the elderly in a care home for seven years, from 2014 to 2021. Most of my patients had early and late stages of dementia. Since 2018, I have also worked in the community providing palliative care. I find this aspect of my work interesting because I get to meet different people from diverse cultures and backgrounds. During the Covid pandemic, I was motivated to start my nursing journey, seeing how nurses helped many individuals during such difficult times. I am currently studying for an Access to Nursing qualification, with the aim of starting university soon. Working in the community has taught me how to deliver person-centred care. In addition to personal care, I can also provide other services such as shopping, washing, and transportation. Coming from a strong Christian background, I enjoy attending church on Sundays. I would be very pleased to offer my care services to families in need of my assistance."

"Having worked as a Carer, Support Worker, and Healthcare Assistant in various community settings, including clients' own homes, as well as in both acute and community hospitals and learning disability nursing homes, I believe I have the right experience to work in the community. I have now been qualified for 14 years as a Registered Adult Nurse, which demonstrates my dedication, commitment, compassion, and caring attitude. I have excellent communication skills and record-keeping abilities. I am also a Christian and maintain my values; hence, I treat everyone as I would like to be treated myself. I have the ability to care for and administer medication to people with various medical and mental health conditions, including learning disabilities. I enjoy travelling, shopping, reading, dancing, and listening to different types of music, especially country and gospel music. I abide by the NMC Code of Conduct and maintain professional relationships with all my clients, including their families. I treat everyone with dignity and respect, always gaining consent before any intervention, interaction, or treatment. I am happy to carry out personal care, feeding, cooking, and housekeeping duties. Nutrition is key, and I am able to look after patients who rely on PEG feeds and other enteral feeding for survival. I work with integrity and use evidence-based methods, paying attention to detail. I also empathise with my patients and will always engage in critical thinking in all my decisions, with the best interests of patients at heart. I am an effective communicator, both verbally and in writing. Naturally, I am an advocate for all the vulnerable in my care, and throughout my career, I have had safeguarding training for vulnerable adults and children, which enables me to identify forms of abuse and act accordingly. I have commendable time management skills and always remain calm under pressure. I can offer my services to clients for day shifts, sleeping and waking shifts, or for live-in care until the end of August. My rates are currently advertised as an HCA; if my nursing skills are required, my rates will increase. This can be discussed during the interview process with my future clients."
