DG13 0DH 65594 Caring for others is one of the most rewarding careers I have encountered yet! I am an energetic hard working individual who believes no job is too big or too small. I pay attention to detail and take care in listening to the needs of those I care for. For me the most rewarding part of what I do is about building meaningful relationships with those in my care. I love to engage with your stories of days gone by and learn about the things which matter most to you most. I am a listening ear or a shoulder to cry on but I also love to bring joy, light heartedness and a good sense of humour to our days. When it comes to daily care, I love routine and am more than happy to fit in with yours. I will be there to help you get you ready for your day, I am able to assist with all aspects of personal care in a respectful, dignified and discreet way to suits your needs. We will enjoy nutritious meals together, I'm no master chef but I do enjoy pottering around the kitchen. Days will be spent in ways which make you happy, be that enjoying visits with your friends or enjoying a cuppa while watching your favourite show on telly, reading or getting our hands dirty in the garden. I am creative and crafty and also enjoy getting out and about whether to explore or walk or just to sit and watch the world go by, so hopefully we can enjoy these activities together too. I am there to help you, or your loved one every step of the way and at the same time I also believe a fulfilled life is about balance and maintaining as much of your independence and autonomy as possible, so hopefully together we can make this happen. My heart is to bring joy, a laugh and companionship to those in my care and for you to continue living a rich and fulfilled life in your most precious space called Home.

ML11 0RF 281298 I enjoy meeting new people and helping them live independently or assisting them being able to get out of the house for shopping and appointments I think an important role for being a carer is the client knowing they have some companionship and are able to get help with what they need. Understanding the care and support each and every client needs and how they differ, but being able to adapt to their care needs and also understand the person be confidential and respect each clients dignity and privacy. To be respectful is a clients house and space let them know you are there for them if they need assistance but encourage independence as and when possible. A day with me as a carer might start out with helping them out of bed and assisting them in the shower, then preparing the breakfast and meds that need to be taken. Then it could be that the client has a hospital appointment or needs to collect shopping they may just want to go for a drive in the car or a walk to somewhere. Being a carer is being able to cater to someone’s personal needs and things that they would like to do.

I began my career in community care, then transitioned into residential care, and finally into live-in care.

DG5 4BS 4459 I live in Dalbeattie and am happy to travel around Dumfries & Galloway for overnight care, and to Ayre, Cumbria and the North East areas for live-in cover. Please note I do not do waking nights. I offer respite live-in and overnight support and holiday and sickness cover for regular carers. I do not do short visits but I'm happy to discuss your needs if longer periods are needed. I'm pet-friendly, very happy to help look after animals and to cook and/or bake, and to help with gardening, cleaning and tidying, or help with personal care - anything you need, just ask! Everyone is unique and has different needs so the rates given are a guide and always include, of course, insurance, DBS check, Curam fees and VAT. I am also sometimes available for Christmas and New Year cover at my standard rates... please just ask. Please note that I am mask exempt and will not be taking any vaccinations. Not having any grandparents I was drawn to older people as a child and would visit older neighbours and help with ironing, tidying around and filling out forms. I was always fascinated by their early life experiences and loved hearing their stories. On leaving school I went into farming, then to University to study Countryside Management, after which I took a few years out to volunteer in my home town, training as an advisor at my local Citizens' Advice Bureau and with the WRVS delivering Meals On Wheels. In 1997 I moved to London and spent an exciting five years as a Transport Planner and then four years in the Lake District National Park Authority as Traffic & Transport Officer. I started a family in 2002. In 2011 I started working for a local community care organisation, had first aid and medication training and quickly became a Senior Carer taking on Out of Hours management and staff rotas. I then spent two years as a Medical Secretary at a GP practice, consolidating my medical knowledge, and left there to spend the past five years looking after my progressively ill mother, who was nursed in bed with a permanent catheter for the last two years of her life. I was her sole advocate, had Power of Attorney for both financial and health & welfare, and managed her personal affairs as well as her care. I enjoy cleaning, organising, cooking and helping people to get the very most out of life in a limiting situation... I have seen both sides of caring: as both a carer and a broker of care packages. I care about timekeeping, doing things properly and providing added value. Rather than be a time-pressured employee of an agency, I relish the opportunity to make meaningful connections with people and develop trusted friendships: this was what I wanted for my mum. I have a current Enhanced Disclosure certificate and in my previous employment as a community carer I completed medication and moving & handling training, but do not have the paperwork to hand at the moment. I am presently learning Italian, renovating my house and building a wildlife garden and pond, and I enjoy 1940s, 1950s music and classical piano.

KA18 3RE 269138 Full of smiles, positivity and a calm manner, it's a joy to meet and support people to continue living their best life, making choices at the level that suits them to maintain some control and independence over their life. I take time to listen and engage in activities such as reading, gardening, baking or having discussions about interests that are important too you (your family member). Always happy to be the company and connection that we all need when requested in addition to meeting all the basic needs to maintain psychical health. Understanding that private time and space is enjoyed but some clients having reassurance someone is on hand, I am able to engage in activities with your family member or amuse myself with interests and hobbies. I Have had 3 covid vaccines but systems are not allowing me to access document evidence of these.
