I have experience in learning disabilities and mental health in a home setting, where I looked after elderly individuals, assisting them with bathing, using the toilet, dressing and undressing, feeding, mobility support, communication, and encouraging their physical development and independence. As a carer, I truly care about people. I have dedicated my life to assisting them, and I continue to work closely with individuals every day. As a live-in carer, I find great joy in providing support to those who are unable to live independently due to difficulties in performing basic day-to-day activities and managing their households. These activities include getting in and out of bed, dressing and undressing, moving about, walking, eating and drinking, assisting with medication, using the toilet, bathing, and others. Additionally, I focus on encouraging their independence and promoting their interests. My long experience with elderly people has also taught me to respect their choices and treat each person as an individual without judgement. I see my clients as people, recognising their humanity beyond just a job. My duties also include maintaining daily reports in line with the client’s care plan in the care report book, communicating regularly with the branch manager and care leaders, attending team meetings, and undergoing training. I manage my workload by following instructions and using my own initiative while promoting clients’ independence. I am patient, kind, positive, and tolerant. I believe compassion, empathy, dedication, and a non-judgemental attitude are essential qualities for a carer. I have found that being a good home cook is also beneficial in many situations. These attributes are vital in providing effective care. I can take things one step at a time and work towards goals, remaining patient and appreciative, regardless of how long it takes. Having raised my two boys single-handedly, I am very understanding and empathetic towards children’s feelings and behaviours, as I can relate to their experiences. I do not give up easily; I am persistent and can persevere, no matter how challenging the situation may be. I understand that it may take a long time to achieve something, but I believe that perseverance pays off in the end. I am flexible and adaptable, willing to learn new things and experience new situations, and I am prepared for days that do not always go as planned. I enjoy reading, cooking, music, and meeting new people. I hold a current DBS. I am willing to travel anywhere in the country as a live-in carer. I could also work locally if offered long shifts of 10 to 12 hours. Unfortunately, due to allergies, I am unable to look after pets. I hold a driving licence.
