"I have spent many years supporting people with learning disabilities, mental health issues, I have had the privilege of running several of the services too! So I've been involved in many aspects of supporting people from taking someone shopping to going on holiday with people. Love cooking sessions, arts and crafts getting out and about to museums, cafes for lunch or simply helping with housework or personal care. Love working with people and building up a wonderful rapport. I have been very privileged to have worked with others with Downs, LD, Mental health issues, and physical disabilities and love every second of my work! Am reliable and conscientious and will always try to support people the best I possibly can."
