"I’m a very easy going person, I work with my heart, I love to be caring for others and I’m a hard working person. I have started as carer in the NHS in 2016, I did my care certificate from Oxford University Hospital NHS foundation trust. I was visiting patients after they were discharged from hospital for few weeks until they got independent, so I was dealing with all kind of health problems, from a broken arm, stoma bag, catheters, strokes, dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer and end of life, etc. I have worked in John Radcliffe Hospital in trauma, ICU, oncology ward, and others, as the end of live Sobell House. I think young people forget one day they going to be old, so I deliver care how I want to be treated when I am old. Treat the elderly with respect, dignity and kindness . Doing this is what makes me happy and I love my job as care professional. I have done live in for 4 years and I prefer to do long periods of live in care. I’m a driver, I love to drive and I have my own car with business car insurance. I want to work around Oxfordshire, I am a professional carer so I’m not cleaner I can do light duties but not do cleaning, When I’m with client I like to build a nice environment so we can work together, chat go out for walks, watch TV, I’m a musical person, I like to walk go out for coffee, dinner and shopping - but I like to be in the sofa too. My big hobby is going home (Portugal)to be with my son and my dog and my family, that’s when I ask for my time off. Christmas is very important for me so I always go home and one month in summer apart from that I like to work in the same place, not being changed every 3 weeks . I would like to have 2 hours break a day and 1 weekend off once a month. I like to simplify things with elderly people some times they’re not in the mood to have shower, I can give them a wash and try the shower tomorrow. We need to realize that is not about us (carers) is about that person we look after, sometimes they just need to talk or having hug, just be there so they don’t feel lonely. So a day with me is go with the flow, I don’t like stress and at the end of the day I know I deliver my 200% and made the difference in that persons life. That’s what I do make the difference in elderly people life. If you would like to discuss your care needs in more detail I am happy to arrange a Curam video call. So why not give me a chance to do what I love, to work as your care professional. "
