My name is Farha. Originally a Northerner, I was born and bred in Leeds; West Yorkshire, however, I have lived in the South of England for several years, by the South East Coast. I am of Kashmiri/Pakistani descent.
Although I have moved to Liverpool now, I continue to work across the United Kingdom (Love driving!)
I started working in Healthcare in 2011. Having a naturally caring nature, the first week into my role as a Support Worker, I was convinced this was the field I best suited at the time.
Having worked with a number of organisations, I set out to start working freelance in 2017. This allowed me to connect with people on a more personal level and provide a much higher level of care and support.
Much of what I have gained in experience, has come from primarily understanding life from the perspective of the person whom I am supporting. This mindset has shaped the ethos I developed at the very beginning, and maintain until now.
I completed the Access to Nursing and Healthcare Professions in 2016. Whilst studying, I had the opportunity to work in a Mental Health Unit and since, this is something I am deeply passionate about.
Currently, I continue to make a difference to those whom I work with, and contribute to their life with high standards of Care and Support, no less than that which I would expect for my loved ones.

- Cerebral Palsy
- Muscular Dystrophy

Farha deserves to win carer of the month as she is amazing kind caring and funny. She holds a great conversation and I'd definitely recommend her. She is a credit to your company extremely understanding and helpful. She takes on board my disability and my children are grateful knowing I'm safe in her care. Xx
