I am a kind, caring, and quietly patient carer. In South Africa and before becoming a Carer, I qualified as a financial planner.

However, I decided to start caring as I have a passion for assisting the vulnerable and adding dignity to those who are less able to care for themselves. I cared for my father before he died from cancer at the young age of 62 years. I then also cared for my mother when she had a heart attack at age 90 years and died a few weeks later. While caring for them, I realized the depth of compassion I feel for those who need care and quiet patience when they are older and/or vulnerable. I permanently left South Africa at the end of 2020 to dedicate myself to working as a Carer. My passion is to give genuine compassionate care and dignity to those who battle to care for themselves. I can assist you with your personal care, toileting, grooming, household tasks, eating, and cooking as well as any administrative tasks. I can also assist with wound care. I have personally had a stoma a few years ago and can there assist with stoma care. I have assisted an elderly client with end-of-life care. I also love pets and have worked for clients who have dogs and I took them for their walks every day. I completed a BTec Level 2 certificate in Dementia Care in 2022. I have a clean driving license and my own vehicle and can therefore work in rural areas and, when necessary, do any errands my client may need. I enjoy reading and studying and therefore often do courses to up-skill myself in this care industry. I also enjoy watching TV and different series at times. I also love watching sport. I like cooking and believe I am a reasonably good cook. I can make you a hearty stew or a roast with roast vegetables - creamy pasta dishes and even simple salmon on toast. I understand keto and can also cook accordingly which is a healthier diet for some and I love trying new recipes. I am willing to learn new skills with new clients and am also happy to fit in with my client's daily routines. I fully understand that I am in your home and will therefore respect your boundaries, routines, and lifestyle. I do regular PCR or lateral flow tests and I am double jabbed for Covid. I have also had one booster. Please get in touch with me if you think that I am able to assist you and add value to your life. Smiles.
