 AB24 3PS 130006 I am a confident and hard working individual. I have a passion for caring for others and a desire to see people around me doing well and comfortable. I studied fine art as a bachelors degree at university and I enjoy incorporating my creative skills with the skills I developed over time working as a career and support worker. It helps me to bond with clients I care for and allows them to also enjoy being creative and getting to know me as not just their care provider but also a friend. I enjoy my work because it doesn't feel like work to me, especially when it is a enjoyable environment to be a part of. I have worked with many different patients over the years. With every new patient I care for, I develop new skills to improve my level of care. I have worked with those who require palliative care, moving and handling manually, or just assistance with their mobility through a walking frame. I have gain a-lot of skills over the years. From emptying catheters and changing leg bags, to effective and safe moving and handling skills of every kind. Training in communicating effectively with people who have dementia and Alzheimer's, depression, and bi-polar disorder. The experiences I have gained has helped me improve all levels of care I provide to each client I have worked with. I hope to be given the opportunity to further improve my skills and satisfy those who are in need of my assistance.

 AB10 7JN 6400 Hello It is my sixth year I work in a care sector and I am currently working on NVQ Diploma in Care Level 2, mostly I am live-in carer, but I had worked as a support worker and in care home. Currently I do not have my own permanent clients (the ones I come back to), but I am registered with a few self-employed agencies that provides me jobs from time to time, I have my own automatic car, and during quarantine I happy to drive to bookings as it is safer. When I am not working I may be spending time in my flat near Glasgow, I love mountains and hiking or I may be at Lithuania where I visit my old grandmother to help her out and she always happy to see me. I am not married currently and I do not have children as with my job I have to live out of the suitcase and travel all the time not settling down in one place, but I still find interesting to meet new people, new places and to have new challenges. I must to write down my pay rate but this could be negotiable. Please do not suggest non live-in placements far from my base in UK, it is near Paisley in Scotland. Thanks for reading.

 AB10 7BN 223973 My name is Kehinde, and I am a male home carer. I have a passion for providing high-quality care to those in need and experienced in supporting individuals with conditions such as Dementia, Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's disease, anxiety, and those who are bedbound, I am well-equipped to handle a variety of caregiving situations. I offer both live-in and longer hourly care services ranging between 8 and 12 hours each day. I can assist in getting clients out and about the community. I can also cook nutritious meals for my clients and always ready to learn new skills if required for a new condition. I am happy to travel for a long term live-in role, and will prefer to have a two hour break each day during live-in, while also ensuring that clients receive the consistent support they require. One of my strengths as a carer lies in my ability to assist with a range of essential tasks, including bathing, toileting, dressing and providing companionship. I firmly believe in helping individuals maintain their dignity and independence, which is why I take pride in offering personalized care that meets each client's unique needs. Additionally, my friendly and caring demeanour helps create a warm and supportive environment for those under my care. Outside of caregiving, I enjoy spending time engaging in activities such as walking, music, sport, dance, solving puzzles, socializing, and reading. These hobbies not only help me recharge and stay refreshed but also allow me to bring a positive energy to my caregiving role. With a genuine motivation to help others lead fulfilling and independent lives, I am dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I support.
