Jorgina P
I am registered Pharmacist originally from Philippines currently working as Pharmacy Tech in a private hospital, I was trained as a carer, with experience working in a Residential Home, out of my profession I have multiple experience helping people With disability, helping them with their daily errand, food shopping taking them to their appointments, cleaning their house, do personal care, cooking, assist them with their admin, gardening with them, taking care of their medication and supporting them in everything they need. I been here in this country for many years now until now I still have this value to care for old / sick people who are in need, I go to many friends of my mine who are not capable to take care of themselves, or they used to call me if they need help, I don't charge them because for me to care for them, it's like an investment that one day I will be reach their age or perhaps will ask help as well, I want some one will be with me and will take care of me too, I treated them like my own family, like my own parents and this is also a great opportunity for me because enjoy and love what I am doing, for example baking, cooking nice meal for me I am applying my knowledge, even in gardening, it makes me happy if I saw their house clean and smells good , same if I make them beautiful for making their hair done, a little bit of make up if they wanted to, do manicure/pedicure giving them massage not only them feel relax same to me because I am using my talents to make them happy. I also love to painting using acrylic and oil during my pastime, I believed that every individual deserve to be cared for with respect and dignity. Working in the hospital I have updated training as part of my compliance at work health and safety, first aid for adult and children for example, I have skill how to use hoist, catheter, PEG. For safety and security of my client and people around them I have uploaded my COVID vaccines card also every Tuesday and Friday of each week we do our own Covid test where we update and upload the result online, I have no allergies, so if you have pets around I am happy to take care of them as long as it is not a lion. Just for your information, this is not my full- time job, although I do have plenty of time sometime in the afternoon if I work on early shift I finished at 4;30pm, most of my weekends are free as well, we have our work rota atleast 2 months in advance so if you need my service which doesn't fit to the schedule that I booked in there, please still let me know for sure I can do special arrangement if needed. Thank you so much for spending time reading my profile, and I hope my qualifications and skills are suitable enough to work with you.

Most of my clients I have cared for for 5-6 years in domiciliary care .I have been a Carer for 11 years. Some clients had physical issues some mental. Some just needed companionship. I have been told one of my strengths is good communication. I did a short English language course in Brighton in Sussex where I fell in love with England. I went back to Finland after my course back to grammar school. Then when little older I returned to England this time to London where I lived in Central London for decades. I have a grown up daughter now and I stay with her sometimes. I did domiciliary care for nearly 7 years in Surrey where we moved eventually but now I do mostly Live in care. I have cared for people with many different issues over the years some younger than myself some 100 and even over. Some just wanted companionship or running the household.
