I was born in Malawi, Central Africa, lived in Zambia, Central Africa, schooled in Zambia and South Africa, and worked and lived in England since I was 19. After years of travelling back and forth to England from South Africa, I settled in the UK in 2014, taking up live in care work mainly in Gloucestershire. I’ve had the privilege of caring for wonderful clients, which has charged me with the ability to be compassionate, empathetic and professional. I have 10 years experience as a carer and I enjoy listening to stories from the elderly people, encouraging them to continue living as independently as they can, while living in their own homes, and happy to work at their own pace. I have experience in personal grooming and I enjoy helping clients look their best. I can assist with hygiene, toileting, eating, cooking, cleaning and any administrative tasks which need support. I have a full clean driving license and enjoy taking clients out to meet friends or just to go for a drive. I have worked with people with dementia, chronic conditions and I have provided end of life care. I provided care for stroke rehabilitation including encouraging client to mobilise as much as possible. I also have experience working with clients suffering from depression and anxiety. I have recently cared for a blind lady for the past 7 years. What a challenge and what a rewarding role it was. I enjoy the little things in life, whether it’s a coffee and cake outing with the client or a gentle amble around a lake, as well as taking in a good movie. Please feel free to contact me should you want a chat and I’ll be happy to tell you all about me.
