I am Brazilian/British and have lived in London for twenty-five years. I became I carer after I looked after my dad who had a big heart operation in August 2013. In December 2013 I started working as a domiciliary part-time carer. In 2015 I became a full-time carer and started my career working for an agency where I received all the professional training and got the carer certificate. In January 2016 I received the British Carer Awards in the category newcomer for the city of London, which I am very proud of. I have been working with the elderly living with dementia and Alzheimers for over 6 years. Since I started working as a home carer I have found that I love what I do; I can make a real difference in people's lives and I find this incredibly rewarding. It gives me a great deal of pleasure to deliver elderly care, especially as I am away from my older relatives. In my search to learn new skills to try to improve the quality of life of my clients, I learnt how music is a powerful tool to help people living with Alzheimer's. In September 2018 I did a course in Spanish called ‘Music for Awaking’ which is a kind music activity that works with autobiographical and personalised playlists for people living with late stages of dementia. I am qualified in providing music activity as a form of therapy. Music is a very powerful tool to help people with dementia/Alzheimer's and I love watching loved ones able to reconnect or have some identity back when they listen to the music of their past. I do provide music activity as form of therapy for advanced dementia. Please request when messaging as the rate is a different rate than my regular rate. I am very caring and trustworthy. I also understand the need for flexibility and I take pride in being punctual and professional with all my appointments. Working in elderly care I gained experience working with people with alcoholism, dementia and many difficulties arising from these. I studied Architecture in Brazil and I enjoy art, exercising, family time, films, going for walks, listening to music, looking after animals, playing music, shopping, swimming, television, travelling, photography.

Paula cared for my mum with mid-stage Alzheimer's and they quickly built a strong rapport. She was excellent at engaging my mum with the things she most enjoyed - art and music - and was a warm and capable companion. Paula was always conscientious, trustworthy, communicative and punctual. Importantly too, she was un-phased when my mum was more challenging or resistant as she is extremely experienced and knowledgeable about dementia. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paula as a carer.
