"**Availability update, 2026:** I will be available from the 13th of December to the 3rd of January, inclusive, for live-in care placements anywhere in the UK. I do not charge travel expenses for journeys to or from placements. Outside of these dates, I am not available at all. --- In June 2025, I was named Curam's Carer of the Month! I am a Scottish lady with a law degree who decided to go into care and housekeeping. In September 2024, I started medical school in St Andrews and hope to combine this with live-in work during holiday periods. I have been a carer since 2021, undergoing full residential training with a live-in agency. During my time with the agency, I gained experience working with MND, learning disabilities, Parkinson's disease, strokes, catheter care, and late-stage dementia, among others. In May 2022, my friend had a stroke and I was invited by her family to move in and help her recover. I lived with her as a carer and a friend until June 2023, when she sadly passed away. Since my friend's passing, I have worked with a variety of clients through Curam, as well as with a private client from October 2023 until March 2024. Up to this point, my references have been uniformly positive, with eight 'Excellent' recommendations on Curam. I would describe myself as independent, conscientious, and an organiser. I communicate observations and suggestions with clients and family members on a constant basis, often several times per day. If your environment is very cluttered or disorganised, this would need to be sorted out before I can start working with you. For placements which involve housekeeping or cooking, I request access to a dishwasher. Apart from my native English, I am a DPSI-qualified Spanish interpreter with excellent Italian and French. I do not charge clients for travel to or from placements or for short local journeys within placements. I have a full driving licence (manual and automatic) and can be insured to take clients in my car. **Three practical points:** 1. I cannot commit to a placement until the Service Agreement has been approved. Recently (May 2024), a client made a firm offer but withdrew several days later, on short notice. 2. I ask clients to settle their invoices before work begins. Because of a difficult experience in the past, I will not travel to you until this has been done. These funds are held safely by Curam until after the end of the work period and will be refunded if, for any reason, the work is not completed. 3. I cannot offer a refund if, after the Agreement has been approved, work is no longer required; for example, if the client moves into hospital or a care facility on short notice. I am very happy to continue assisting clients before, during, and after short hospital visits."
