    I am a Capetonian South African with a British citizenship.I have been doing live-in care for just over 5 years now.

I've always wanted to give back to society in a healing, caring, and loving way whilst earning a living. I helped my mother look after my grandmother after she had a stroke and it was a very rewarding and priceless experience for me to give back to all the great years of loving and care my grandmother gave me as a child she taught me so much about life and how to do things and I will cherish her for the rest of my life. I love engaging with the elderly and listening to all their life stories they have such alot of wisdom to share. I used to do energy healing but found that very draining on my energy so I do not practice anymore but believe that anybody that is around me benefits from my positive energy. I like arts and crafts, cooking, and plants. I don't mind traveling max 2hrs for a live-in placement. I only do live-in care at the moment 3/4 weeks on/off I do have my own flat in Bournemouth and like to spend time there too

    When Teresa arrived to be my mother's live in carer for the week (for the first time) she had obviously read the care plan sent to her and had the experience to know how to treat my mother (dementia/macular degeneration) - there were no tears from my mother when I left. My mother’s anxiety was under control and she sounded so happy when I called, so much so Teresa has been asked to look after my mother for a week every month. I can thoroughly recommend Teresa.

    Teresa is very experienced and professional and a wonderful carer. She very quickly settled into a routine of excellent care, and is a great communicator and showed empathy and compassion whilst caring for our 92yr old mother. She is a great cook and highly organised and was brilliant at keeping the family closely updated at all times and we hope she comes back very soon.

    Teresa cared for my 93 yr old mother whilst we went away. She fitted in straight away and was wonderful with mum. Teresa is trustworthy, caring, interesting, fun and chatty which was perfect for mum! Yet very professional and discreet. I would highly recommend Teresa for a caring companionship position.

    During Teresa’s time with us she has shown a huge amount of compassion, patience and understanding whilst caring for our mother Mollie. Dealing with daily routines, and sometimes emergencies, in a confident and professional manner. We have found Teresa calming and reassuring, and has become an important part within our family unit. We cannot recommend her highly enough.
