My experience in caring ranges from being a companion to providing personal care, manoeuvring and handling, and caring for patients with dementia, Alzheimer's, and cerebral palsy. I also have experience in counselling in certain areas through various church organisations in South Africa. I believe I possess the necessary attributes to be an effective carer, such as compassion, empathy, and a sympathetic nature. I have basic cooking skills for traditional English meals. I am a good listener and have an abundance of patience.
When starting with a new client, I prefer to have a settling-in period where I can get to know the client's needs, routines, and sleeping patterns. Once this has been established, I then discuss with the client's family members or representatives the period of care I can provide.
I hold a full UK driving licence and have experience driving clients' own vehicles, both manual and automatic.
