Dementia awareness

Safeguarding adults

G15 7EP 108803 I have a great passion for helping others live comfortably in their own homes. I assist clients with daily living tasks they can no longer perform personally due to illness, frailty, or physical disabilities and mobility issues. I have supported clients affected by dementia, Parkinson's disease, and those who needed companionship as they felt lonely in their homes. I have also supported clients who were depressed and anxious about life. As no two people are the same, I work using the Person-Centred Approach. I treat clients with dignity and respect, which means I honour their rights, wishes, and choices as long as they do not put themselves in harm or danger. I work in adherence to legislation and policies and procedures. I am a team player and have a listening ear too. I bring smiles to my clients by appreciating them, treating them with respect, and spending time doing things they want, such as enjoying cups of tea with cake or biscuits. This helps to create a very good rapport. I love cooking and baking and sometimes try new things that clients request, especially food, as I am originally from Africa. I enjoy making someone smile daily by supporting them in a Person-Centred Way, as it is their choice, not mine. I promote clients' independence by allowing them to do what they can. I was a primary school teacher in Zimbabwe for over 22 years, teaching children from primary one to seven. When I came to the UK, I decided to help older adults and went to university to train as a social worker. I chose to work with older adults because I had a lot of interest in being with my grandparents when I was young, and I had a very good relationship with them. I possess excellent listening skills and respect others by allowing them to speak before me. I hold a diploma in social work, and I supported the elderly during my placement. I enjoyed that experience immensely, which inspired me to work as a Live-in Carer.

Social work studies

PA13 4BT 4364 I’ve been working in the care sector for around 15 years, supporting both adults and young people with a wide range of needs. My experience includes care at home, residential children’s services, respite care, and supporting individuals with complex disabilities in their own homes. I hold a BA (Hons) in Social Work and an HNC in Counselling, and I’m fully PVG-checked and registered with the SSSC. Over the years, I’ve supported people with cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities, behaviours that challenge, and individuals needing emotional, social, or practical support. I provide personal care, companionship, community support, medication assistance, and day-to-day living support with dignity, patience, and a calm, steady approach. I am also experienced in caring for people with different types and stages of dementia. Care is something I genuinely enjoy. I like getting to know the people I support, building trust, and helping them stay comfortable and independent in their own homes. I believe great care is built on communication, consistency, and respect, and I always aim to bring a positive, professional energy into every visit. My background gives me strong skills in safeguarding, de-escalation, TCI/POB, record-keeping, and person-centred planning. Whether I’m supporting someone with daily routines or providing social companionship, my focus is always on creating a safe, supportive environment where the person feels valued and understood. Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family, and keeping active. I’m down-to-earth, reliable, and easy to talk to, and I take pride in delivering high-quality care that suits each individual’s needs and preferences.

I am originally from Italy, but I have been living in Scotland since 2013. Previously, I worked as a carer in my home country, where I was a live-in carer for a couple; the wife had Alzheimer's and the husband was 89 years old. Their daughter also faced challenges due to bipolar disorder, which presented me with several difficulties. I managed all household tasks, scheduled appointments, and administered medications. For almost three years, I have been looking after a lady with dementia and limited mobility. I then started working in care homes and the wider community, gaining knowledge about hoists, lifting techniques, and various stages of dementia. I have also obtained my SVQ3 qualification. I am very attentive to the needs of my clients and always strive to uplift them. I understand their situations and promote their independence, as well as their human rights. I have encountered behavioural challenges and have learned how to react in the best way to help individuals calm down. I can change stoma bags, use hoists, and cook. I have a car and would love to care for people in their homes, as I believe they feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings.

I have come to understand the different needs of others and how I can assist my clients in my role. I help with dressing and undressing, putting on slippers and shoes, showering, or assisting with top and tails when this is difficult for them depending on their day. My housework duties include washing, cleaning, hoovering, ironing, changing bedding, and other tasks as needed. When things go wrong for them—such as with the television, which is particularly important to my loved ones—I can assist with simple problems like changing batteries, sorting cables, and replacing light bulbs or phones, whether home or mobile. I understand how crucial medication is for health, and I ensure they receive theirs when needed. I change dressings (only with healthcare provider instructions), assist with foot care, cut nails, and stay vigilant for anything that may go wrong, especially for those who are diabetic; my dad faced numerous health issues over the years, and prompt treatment is essential. I organise all appointments, including hospital visits, doctors/nurses, podiatry, dietitian, and INR clinic sessions. I am more than willing to work with family members to ensure your loved one is well cared for. Over the years, my experience with my father's health has equipped me with the skills necessary to provide others with the care I can offer. In my spare time, I enjoy playing games such as dominoes, cards, and even jigsaw puzzles. I'm open to trying new games, so please feel free to teach me something new! I have a serious side, but I also have a fun side, and I adapt to their preferences. I love talking to others and hearing their life stories, especially from older people; their experiences are often fascinating. I believe one-on-one time is important if that is what is required. You can be assured that I will respectfully understand your loved one, treating them with compassion and looking after them as I would my own. Having been a carer for my dad for so long, I understand that all I ever wanted was to ensure he was well looked after—I even managed medication prompts for him four times daily after he experienced a second TIA. I promise to provide that same level of care. I am willing to answer any questions you may have before hiring me, especially if you are unsure. I would like to share how I became a carer. When I was a teenager, I began looking after my autistic nephew when my sister needed help during holidays or for respite. I started caring for my elderly father full-time in 2009 after he had a turn while we were shopping. I was classed as an unpaid carer, devoting my time to him at any time of day or night. We worked well together, and I knew him extremely well; I learned to recognise when he was unwell. Even a urine infection in an elderly person can cause confusion. He had diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (which severely impacted his mobility), cellulitis in his very swollen legs (due to fluid), recurring diabetic ulcers, gout (which sometimes prevented him from walking), and chronic kidney disease (where a high potassium diet was crucial). He experienced three TIAs in front of me, all of which I managed promptly, as well as a heart attack while in hospital. My dad and family members believe I saved his life not just once. After the second TIA, he was left with cognitive impairment, and I had to adapt my care for him, ensuring he was never upset. I assisted him when needed, cleaning him after he wet or soiled himself, and I would shave his hair and beard when he was unwell. Otherwise, he maintained as much independence as possible, and I helped him achieve that. I took him shopping and on day trips to see family (his siblings). I am very committed and compassionate; I will look after others and listen as much as they wish to speak. I feel confident moving forward in this role. I lost my dad to COVID-19 in 2020 at the age of 85. Recently, I cared for an 86-year-old lady with late-stage dementia. She experienced sundowning, and her family wanted me there a few nights a week to care for her and provide reassurance. They needed respite as well, and she is now in full-time care. Family members are willing to provide references.

G53 5YH 288130 I am available for short-term care one week per month. I am a sociable and enthusiastic person who has worked in the care sector since 2008 after completing my HNC in social care and my SVQ3. I have worked with diverse clientele in elderly care homes, domiciliary care in the community, disabilities, mental health, and addiction, to mention just a few. I have worked with private care homes as well as in hospitals with NHS mental health wards. I have worked with Glasgow City Council with women experiencing homelessness and, more recently, with children in residential care. I like to treat each person as an individual, and therefore I use a person-centred approach when dealing with each service user. I am willing to accompany clients for social interaction in the community, such as activities, church, shopping, appointments, etc. I am also happy to work with both male and female clients. I will work alongside other health professionals and follow their guidelines on what is needed for the client in order to provide holistic care. I bring a positive outlook to my work and can work as part of a team as well as independently. I am always punctual, friendly, active, eager to learn, and ready to work under pressure; my family is an important part of my life. I am also willing to undertake some housekeeping tasks such as hoovering, clearing and cleaning after cooking, preparing nutritional meals, making beds, and doing laundry, but I dislike ironing. I am willing to administer medication if it is prescribed and I have clear instructions on how to do so. I can tolerate a house with cats but am not very keen on dogs unless they are well-behaved, as I have no experience in living with or looking after dogs. I love reading, walking, socialising with friends and family, going to the cinema, and travelling to learn about different cultures and lifestyles.

Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse healthcare settings, supporting people with physical health conditions, complex needs, and those requiring assistance with daily living. My approach to care is built on respect, dignity, empathy, and the belief that every individual deserves to feel valued and supported. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in delivering high-quality care, including assisting with personal care, supporting medication management, monitoring health and wellbeing, and working closely with multidisciplinary teams to ensure the best outcomes for those I support. I am confident in building trusting relationships with individuals and their families, communicating effectively, and adapting my care approach to meet each person’s unique needs and preferences. My professional skills include strong observational and assessment abilities, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and the ability to remain calm and responsive in challenging situations. I am also experienced in safeguarding, risk assessment, infection control, and maintaining accurate documentation in line with professional standards. What makes me a good carer is my genuine passion for helping others and my dedication to promoting independence, dignity, and wellbeing. I take pride in providing care that is not only safe and effective but also compassionate and respectful. I continuously strive to develop my knowledge and skills through ongoing learning and reflection, ensuring that I provide the highest standard of care possible. With 15 years of hands-on experience in healthcare, I bring reliability, professionalism, and a deep understanding of the importance of person-centred care in improving the lives of those I support.
