I enjoy working as a health care assistant, I have 10 years experience in the sector. I started as a carer in a dementia nursing home and worked my way up to a senior carer. I then wanted to progress my career, which I then became a deputy manager in another dementia nursing home. I enjoyed my job role, however, ultimately I missed the one to one interactions with my clients which I really love. So I stepped down and have been working as a dom care worker in the community, which I am really enjoying, having the privilege to work in the clients home, building trust and working together to achieve clients goals and wishes to remain as independant as possible and to remain in their homes per their wishes. I drive and have buisness insurance, I enjoy driving so I am more than happy to travel to help meet a clients needs. I also enjoy cleaning and cooking so again, I am more than happy to undertake these tasks too. I am also a private cleaner and have experience being self employed in this sector.
In my spare time, my hobbies are gardening and my love of animals, I used to be a florist so this is now my hobby and I rescue animals. I can provide assistance with taking care of your beloved companions too as they are important to our mental welbeing.
Currently I work on a bank system with one dom company which is every Tuesday 7am-2pm, I then have my private client for cleaning 3pm-6pm. I also work with another dom company Wednesdays 7am-1pm, Saturdays 7am-10pm and Sundays 7am-10pm. However this isn't set in stone as these days and hours highly depend on what clients I have been allocated for those
days. I am looking to work together directly with my clients here and I will leave the other two dom companies I work for, so I will become very flexible and can accommodate your needs as best as I can.
