 CA11 7AJ 272196 I’m an easy going individual, very patient, strong and kind. I became a carer because my grandmother had early onset Alzheimer’s and I learnt so much through watching and helping my mother as her primary carer, especially what an important role a carer is to someone. Caring has always come very naturally to me and I believe it’s so important to be able to help one another in this life wherever we can. I am from Zimbabwe but have been working in care for seven years in the UK though an agency and the majority of the time privately in London however now I am living in Penrith and I look forward to working around Cumbria. I love getting to know people and helping however I can. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"0","field_care_type_first":null,"field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"1","field_care_type_second":"1, 4, 5","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"1","field_care_type_third":"1, 4, 5","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"1","field_care_type_fourth":"1, 4, 5","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"1","field_care_type_fifth":"1, 4, 5","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"1","field_care_type_sixth":"1, 4, 5","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"0","field_care_type_seven":null}

 CA28 8AW 14386 Dear Prospective Clients, I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you. For over twenty years, I've dedicated my life to what I love most—providing care and support to some truly remarkable individuals. My approach is infused with a vibrant personality, a hearty dose of humour, a good measure of common sense, an abundance of love, and exceptional organizational skills, all aimed at ensuring your loved ones receive the highest standard of care. My caregiving journey was ignited by a personal experience of caring for a family member. This profound experience sparked my passion for helping others and illuminated the significant impact that compassionate care can have on someone's life. It was a transformative moment that set me on a path to pursue caregiving as my life's work. As I ventured into this fulfilling career, I was captivated by caregiving's diverse opportunities. This journey of discovery fueled my desire to learn and grow, leading me to develop a deep understanding of the laws and regulations that govern this sector. My adaptability shines through in my ability to work seamlessly independently and as part of a dedicated team. Each new client I meet is a chance for me to make a meaningful difference, and this prospect motivates me to hone my skills and deepen my knowledge continuously. For me, caregiving is more than just a job; it's a calling that allows me to connect with and uplift others profoundly. In my role, I am dedicated to advocating for your loved ones, fostering their independence, and safeguarding their confidentiality, privacy, and dignity. I believe in partnering with them, working 'with' rather than 'to' them, to build relationships based on mutual trust and respect. Although I don't drive, this doesn't hinder my ability to facilitate outings and activities for your loved ones. I am well-versed in public transport and can arrange taxis when needed, ensuring they can enjoy the world beyond their home. The challenges and rewards of caregiving have only strengthened my dedication to this profession. I am relentlessly making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for, and I am always seeking to enhance my skills and knowledge to deliver the best care possible. I hold an Enhanced CRB on the Update Service and am committed to ongoing training, ensuring I am always abreast of the latest best practices in caregiving. My qualifications span a range of areas, including Basic Food Hygiene, Dementia Awareness, Moving and Handling, and Safeguarding & Protection of Adults. I believe in transparent and fair pricing. The rates I offer represent the maximum you would pay for my services, and I am open to discussing your specific needs to tailor my services to fit your budget. I aim to provide exceptional care without causing financial stress. When not caring for others, I enjoy spending time with my family, engaging in music, and baking with my children. My faith as a born-again Christian is a guiding force, inspiring me to approach every interaction with compassion and understanding. I am excited about the possibility of supporting you and your loved ones. Please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss your specific needs and how I can customize my services to meet them. 0 2 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"3","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"3","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":true,"field_care_type_sixth":"3","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":true,"field_care_type_seven":"3"}
