With over 10 years of dedicated experience in caregiving, I have honed my skills in providing personalised and compassionate care to individuals with a range of needs. My experience has been in palliative care, elimination, and continence care, and I have successfully worked with clients who have diabetes, COPD, Bulbar onset MND, and nonverbal communication challenges. I have also met positive outcomes and worked with people with dementia, chronic conditions and end-of-life care for many years, helping to make clients comfortable at home as a live-in carer. I work well with other palliative care team members, such as doctors, and support family members with respite care. I have a full, clean UK driving licence and my own car. Im kind and respectful, value your privacy while providing necessary support.
I am well-versed in essential care practices, including PEG feeding, stoma care, and using suction machines, SAT machines, and non-invasive personal care techniques. These techniques help my clients maintain their dignity while helping them look and feel their best. I can assist with hygiene, toileting, eating, cooking, cleaning and any administrative tasks that need support. As I have a full, clean UK driving licence and my car, I enjoy taking clients out to meet friends, shop, or explore local markets and other amenities. My ability to adapt to diverse care situations and my commitment to providing the highest quality of care make me a valuable asset to any client seeking compassionate and reliable support.
Beyond my professional qualifications, I am a passionate individual who enjoys engaging in various activities in my free time. I am a regular churchgoer, a keen gardener, and a lover of history and the thrill of a good bargain. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, attending church services, and exploring local car boot sales and local markets.
My availability is flexible, and I am open to discussing your specific care requirements. I am confident in my ability to provide you with the support and companionship you need to maintain a comfortable and fulfilling life.
Please read below what a typical day with me as your caregiver will look like (this would vary to ensure personalised care and support)
"A typical day with me as your caregiver would begin with a warm and friendly greeting, followed by a thorough assessment of your needs and preferences. I would ensure that your medication is administered correctly and on time, and I would assist you with any personal care tasks, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming.
Throughout the day, I would be attentive to your comfort and well-being, ensuring your environment is clean and safe. We could engage in stimulating activities together, such as reading, playing games, or simply chatting. I would always respect your privacy and independence, while providing the necessary support to help you maintain a high quality of life.
If you require assistance with mobility or transfers, I would use safe and effective techniques to ensure your comfort and safety. I would also monitor your vital signs and report any changes to your healthcare provider.
In the evenings, I would help you prepare for bed, ensuring that you are comfortable and have everything you need for a restful night's sleep. My goal is to provide you with the highest level of care and companionship, making your day as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible."
