I am a reliable, conscientious, hardworking and responsible person with a warm and friendly personality. I am naturally caring, compassionate, kind natured ,empathetic and have excellent communication skills and a good listener. I love to meet and engage with new people, have a good sense of humour. I have worked with clients with middle to late stage of dementia, stroke, parkinson's, visual and hearing impairment, elderly, challenging behaviour. I'm passionate about caring for people and value all of my placements and jobs as they've shaped me into the carer I am now. I'm an adaptable person, try to base my work style on a person centred model, making sure the clients needs and wishes are always at the centre of everything I do. I have great respect for the people I care for and enjoy being a carer as I find great joy in helping people who can't help themselves and don't mind going the extra mile within reason.

Penina is the best carer we have had so far from Curam. She was very professional according to my father and he was so happy to have had her care for him. I would highly recommend her.
