⭐ Fully Vetted Professional

"I am naturally caring and enjoy looking after others. I am empathetic and sensitive to the requirements and individual circumstances of each client I work with. It is very rewarding to enhance someone's quality of life. I have previous experience as a Live-In Carer, domiciliary carer, nursing home assistant, and personal assistant. I am a confident driver, a non-smoker, and have good cooking skills. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, completing jigsaws, listening to music, going to the cinema, and taking walks. I also like to visit the pub for a meal or drink with friends, and I love to travel. *** All my rates are informative and depend on the level of care. *** Testimonials and endorsements from clients: • “I want to express our admiration for Nicolette and acknowledge that she has tolerated and worked around some exceptionally unpleasant and stressful behaviour from my mother. We are both extraordinarily grateful for her time and the patience she has shown, which went beyond the call of duty.” Henry P, son of client • “You have gone above and beyond to ensure that your customer is fully supported and that she remains as safe as possible. You have done an amazing job and remained calm and resilient in what have often been challenging and stressful situations. Anne’s sons have both spoken highly of the dedicated care you provide for their mother.” Samantha G, Local Care Services Manager • “Nicolette worked as a live-in carer for my mother for a number of weeks in September, October, and November 2016. My mother has dementia and requires 24-hour care to ensure her comfort and safety. Duties that were required included cooking, administering medicine, running the household, arranging and attending doctor’s appointments, ensuring my mother washed, dressed, ate, and drank properly, and went to bed at the appropriate time. Nicolette performed her duties without supervision and showed a good level of initiative, solving problems as they arose in a calm manner. She motivated my mother to leave the house often and to engage in activities every day, for example, going for a walk to the local café. She developed a very good rapport with my mother, who clearly enjoyed her time with Nicolette, and we could see that she had fun. Nicolette is approachable, clever, friendly, and does her job very well. We wouldn't hesitate to have her caring for my mother in the future.” Mark H, son of client • “I would have no hesitation in employing Nicolette. She is first-class at her job. She looked after my disabled sister over Christmas and New Year. She is kind, caring, and understanding. Your gain is our loss!” Bert J, brother of client • “Nicolette worked as my live-in carer (I have Motor Neurone Disease) from 27th January 2016 and is returning to Romania next Tuesday (21st June). She is totally reliable, caring, and compassionate, and has a great sense of humour. Nicolette is liked by my wife, all our four children, and those of our friends who have met her. She will be a hard act to follow. Her spoken English is good, and she has a wide vocabulary. She also speaks French, Italian, and some Spanish. I recommend her without hesitation.” Philip S, client"
