My experience has taken me to several different care settings, including nursing homes, live-in care, and residential care. I have extensive experience caring for individuals with dementia, multiple sclerosis, behavioural issues, depression, and palliative care. My approach to care is person-centred. Companionship and friendship are essential qualities for building trust and familiarity with my clients. The safety and wellbeing of those I care for is my top priority. These values I uphold have allowed me to build fantastic relationships with the families and individuals I have cared for. I am an upbeat person who loves to live life with a smile on my face. I enjoy all things creative and holistic, and I like to share these ideas and activities with my clients whenever possible. I am passionate about exploring different cultures and keeping informed about current affairs and their impact on society. My interests nurture the spiritual outlook I have on life, which I express at my local church and Quaker meeting. English is my mother tongue, and I speak, read, and write fluently. I am computer literate and possess excellent communication and time-keeping skills. I understand that it has become increasingly difficult to find carers for your loved ones. The thought of having many faces come and go through the door can be daunting. Private care can ensure that your loved one builds a rapport with their carer, creating a sense of familiarity that puts both them and you at ease. I live in Stevenston and am available for care work throughout Ayrshire. The number of hours you book will depend on how far I can travel within Ayrshire. Smaller care packages can be arranged closer to where I live, while larger packages can be considered for locations further afield. **Training and Qualifications:** - BA Honours Acting - COSCA Certificate in Counselling - Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care - Foster Care Training - Safeguarding Adults and Children – AC Education - Reporting and Recording – AC Education - Food Health and Safety – AC Education - Health and Safety – AC Education - Equality and Diversity – AC Education - First Aid Training – Pebbles Care **Fees:** My fees cover the following: - Holiday pay - Sickness pay - Sudden contract cancellation due to clients' changes in circumstances - Insurance - Reasonable travel expenses to run local errands, such as medication collection and shopping (Please note that substantial travel distances for any agreed arrangement will be charged at 45p per mile). Thank you for viewing my profile. I look forward to hearing from you.
