Hello, my name is Jacqueline, but I prefer to be called Jackie for short.
I am a fully trained and experienced live-in carer with 12 years of experience in the care profession, working as a live-in carer, domiciliary carer, in care homes, and in NHS hospitals. I am committed to all my clients and work towards a high standard of care, putting their needs first in a person-centred approach. I am thoughtful, patient, and extremely understanding. My communication skills are excellent, mainly face-to-face, and I can easily build a rapport with clients, their families and friends, and other healthcare professionals. I have worked in the healthcare industry for over ten years, during which time I have cared for and supported various clients with specific needs, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, osteoarthritis, dementia, diabetes, depression, palliative care, brain injuries, spinal injuries, and more.
If required, I can use my initiative. I am trained and confident in using hoists, wheelchairs, slings, and in moving and handling. I am also quite a good cook and like to motivate my clients to eat a well-balanced diet wherever possible. I am very proactive, putting the clients' needs first at all times, ensuring that they are clean and comfortable, happy, and that all their care needs are met.
I am trained in changing stoma bags and catheter bags. If a client has a district nurse who visits them, I can change the stoma or catheter bag while the nurse is present, as they can witness this and sign me off. If the client enjoys going outside, either in their wheelchair or on foot, I can assist with that. I can also arrange to take the client to a day centre or to the park.
I am used to liaising with family members if there are any issues, and I can also arrange doctors’ or hospital appointments, as I am accustomed to dealing with other healthcare professionals. I prefer to work with female clients or couples. I arrange and pay for my own travel, as I often work in London and prefer London as well as other areas.
I don’t mind dogs or cats. As for working patterns, that is up to the client; I am quite flexible regarding how long they would like me to live in.
