I have managed club's for people living with dementia symptoms, I managed for the Alzheimers society and worked closely with palliative care and continuing care support services. Within these services, I initiated the need for care support plans to change , to improve support to people being cared for and their carers. I devolped the care plans for local Authority Services that provided palliative care funding and support, making them more person centred and inclusive. I am passionate about people and wherever possible to enhance quality of life and promote independence. Care is personal and very unique to each person, I am mindful and very supportive of choice in the way people wish to be supported. I moved to West sussex from London 8 years ago where I changed my career as Registered Manager and began part time work with Alzheimers society, then on to various private care. My change came as I decided to pursue my hobbies of craft and teaching mindfulness and meditation into a part time business. I have remained supporting people with care needs,as this is set in my heart and is something I care very much for. I enjoy cooking, gardening, walks along the downs, swimming, fitness ,reading and have a wide range of music interests . I am friendly and calm by nature and have the ability to listen and support people the way they wish to be and am mindful of privacy. I am naturally compassionate and will endeavour to make sure people I work with feel they have my support, trust and understanding. I have a good sense of humour and a positive approach in life. Please note that my hourly rate is £21 ,non inclusive of parking. If you live in an area where parking restrictions apply, we will need to discuss the rate as it may be increased due to the costly rates some areas charge, or of course we can look into parking permits the council authorise for carers . Bank Holiday Rates will be at 1.5 and occasionally I work add hoc weekends (when I have availability), please note the weekend hourly rate is £23.50ph . I am open to discuss rates with you. thank you Michelle

Excellent
Michelle is a wonderfully attentive carer who swiftly established a rapport with my Dad after they met for the first time. She asked about his life and his interests and encouraged him to share his memories and through those conversations found many ways to keep him engaged and entertained when caring for him. Dad is always delighted to see her and gives her a big hug when she leaves and comments to me what a lovely woman she is. I cannot recommend her highly enough she is an excellent carer.
