I provided community nursing support in South Africa to psychiatric nurses and midwives in the community. This involved first aid out in the field, counselling victims of domestic abuse, providing resource information, and supporting palliative care patients with daily care, which included washing, eating, and companionship. I also worked closely with social services to provide care to abandoned babies and children. It has always been my understanding that people are unique and wonderful. We all fundamentally need and deserve the best possible care, respect, and support to live our best and chosen lives. I consider it a privilege to be "allowed" to help someone in various ways throughout their day.
I have delivered support in many settings, from domiciliary to live-in care, as well as being part of the theatre staff at Addenbrooke's. My duties ranged from daily pad changes and showers or baths to meal preparations and shopping support. Every case is individual and personalised according to each person's needs. I also follow care plans as required and am able to assist with new packages and establish routines as a first line of support for new live-in care roles.
I have worked for 30 years delivering personal care, support, and companionship in hospitals, personal homes, care homes, and the community. I am currently studying for a doctorate in Homeopathy. I am mainly available for palliative care packages or ad hoc support on a short-term basis.

I never met Veronica but corresponded with and spoke to her regarding helping my elderly, partially sighted mother. She visited her on two occasions. In my opinion, she was at all times professional, caring and gave good advice. I would use her again to support my mother.

I have no hesitation in recommending Veronica who looked after our elderly mum. She was fully invested in providing the best care and highly capable. In addition she fitted in very well with the family.

Veronica is an amazing person!! She is professional, kind, caring and respectful.. Veronica has all the qualities one could hope for in a carer.
From the very first moment we met Veronica, she made a great connection with my mother, and made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. I am so happy to have Veronica’s help with my mother. Veronica is an exceptional person!

Veronica is an amazing carer, she goes above and beyond and truly has the best interests of the patient at heart.
Veronica has cared for my elderly mother for the past 6 months and my mum looks forward to her visits every day. She puts the needs of my mum beyond anything else, and really helped us when we had no idea about how to put a care plan in place for mum..
She is a positive and amazing person,
reliable and keeps us updated daily on her visits. I would highly recommend Veronica to anyone.
