I have more than 5 years experience in the UK as a carer and support worker and 3 years in the Netherlands. I have had the opportunity and experience working with the elderly and young adults with dementia, mental health, brain injury, autism, learning difficulties, and behaviours that challenge. My duties evolve around working according to agreed standards, policies and procedures. My main focus is to meet the individual needs and preferences of the people I support. My job includes providing compassionate support; home help; cooking and making healthy meals, prompting and medication administration; running personal errands; driving and chaperoning on holidays or social outings; companionship, and gardening. I have a passion in photography, cooking, playing chess, swimming, going on walks, hiking, and listening to music. My job that I did before I worked in an information technology (IT) company, it’s a completely different field and that involved solving computer related problems. I chose to be a carer / personal assistant because I enjoy helping people. I am a naturally caring person, hardworking and a good communicator. I am a positive person and I want to make a difference in someone else’s life. I’ve experience supporting service users to go on city breaks and on holidays within UK and one holiday abroad, and that included preparing and planning holiday activities. I am available for Hourly, Overnight, Live-in, and Short notice care. I can travel up to 500+ miles for Live-in Weekly care. Up to 37 miles for Live-in Day care. Up to 10 miles for Hourly, Waking night and Short notice care. *Please note: I am flexible and willing to discuss your care package on a needs basis.

Very Good
Mike has been our dad's carer for upto 4 months . Our dad has been diagnosed with Parkinsons. He has been looking after our dad with a very kind natured and patient attitude. Nothing is too much trouble. Always listens, softly spoken and and very patient with him. Always tries to involve him and check with him to make sure he is comfortable. My dad is very happy with the care he has provided so far. Thanks Mike.
