"Hi there, my name is Semida. I have a total of 8 years of experience working in the care sector in the UK, with 5 years as a Health Care Assistant working through care agencies in care homes, respite care, and supported living with clients with learning disabilities, and 3 years as a live-in carer. I am compassionate, caring, and friendly, with extensive experience dealing with people in the early stages of dementia, early-stage vascular dementia, epilepsy, and providing companionship for elderly individuals. I have worked in elderly homes, residential settings, respite care, and rehabilitation centres. When starting with a new client, I prefer to have a 3-week settling-in period where I can get to know my clients' needs. If, after this period, both parties are happy with my care, I am willing to extend my rotation to 6 or 8 weeks. I enjoy cooking fresh meals from scratch, keeping everything simple and engaging clients as much as possible in the process. I can teach my clients how to cook international dishes, specifically Romanian cuisine. Cleaning is also very important to me. My hobbies include jogging, taking care of pets—especially dogs—reading, gardening, learning to cook, studying foreign languages, travelling, and volunteering—such as feeding the homeless or assisting with various tasks in elderly homes—and meeting new people from different backgrounds. While in placements, my main focus is on my clients and their wellbeing; I am not available for outside jobs except for light gardening."

"I am a kind, caring, compassionate, adaptable, honest, professional, confident and trustworthy lady. I have been working in care since May 2022, and I truly enjoy making a difference in people’s lives. Caring fulfils my passion for helping those who are unable to cope with everyday challenges or require companionship. My carer experience includes the following: Palliative Care, Dementia Care, Personal Care & Hygiene, Short-term Memory Loss, Medication Management, Companionship, and Personal Assistance. I have strong family values and raised three children while working full-time. I am physically active and fit, enjoying Yoga, walking, and cycling on a fairly regular basis. I have completed 19 Cape Town Cycle Tours (109 km one-day event). I have also hiked extensively through the Swiss Alps, South Downs Way, Pembrokeshire Coast, and many African trails. Other interests include reading, puzzles, chess, and nature. I enjoy a healthy lifestyle with a particular focus on nutrition, exercise, and maintaining a positive mindset. I believe that maintaining a balanced lifestyle and positive energy through both mental and physical activities has been beneficial to my well-being and general health. I was born in South Africa but am an Irish citizen and holder of an Irish passport."
