In my current role clients often praise me and request to work with me and often say you are one of my favourite Carer, it's lovely to be appreciated. I feel I genuinely care about people and want to make a difference in people's lives.  In my spare time I love going for walks in nature, going to exercise classes like Yoga and Pilates. I love travelling, exploring new places of interests and going to the theatre. I am self published Author of a poetry book. I enjoy reading and listening to Audio books especially on self development, looking after my health and wellbeing, mediating, practising spirituality, listening to ambient music. I very much like cooking. A typical day as a Carer would look like, I greet the client with a positive attitude, asking how they are, what they would like to do, I understand the importance of being valued & respected regardless (being seen and heard) of the health condition and disability. It's so important to work around the clients needs i.e. find out what they like to do. I always provide person centred care and adapt to each client. Having things in common like playing board games, singing cooking etc makes it an enjoyable pastime for client and the Carer.  I work within the given times to organise, get priority tasks done and work with the client. I do my best to provide enjoyable companionship as it's important to work well together. I always like to create a positive experience as I have a friendly personality which enables me to be good with people. I like to leave the client feeling better being around me at the end of the day and complete routine tasks/additional tasks to the best of my ability. I do my best to show up as a great Carer by looking after myself physically and mentally so I can best look after the clients needs in return. It's so important for me to build on a healthy working relationship and the client feels comfortable around me and able to trust me which would work both ways of course.
