Claire H
ALL ABOUT ME: Hello and a warm welcome to my profile! I’m Claire, a 44 year old single woman who was born and raised in Hertfordshire, England. My professional background includes more than 20 years’ experience of caring for children, teenagers and adults in various roles and settings. I have previously worked as a Nursery Nurse, Teacher, Boarding School Houseparent, and more recently, live-in carer for adults. Of course, these roles had many differences between them, but they also offered many shared experiences that are still very useful today in my work as a carer. For example, I have a lot of experience with: Creating action plans on how best to meet an individual’s needs Learning to recognise a person’s ‘normal’ behaviour patterns, in order to recognise when something is amiss and needs looking into Planning fun, creative activities to stimulate fun and wellbeing Working closely with an individual’s family, to ensure we can do what is best to meet their needs Consulting other professionals (medical, safeguarding) so that vital information is shared and acted on Carrying out risk assessments as necessary, and other Health and Safety paperwork, to ensure the individual’s safety at all times Reporting on matters of Safeguarding to the relevant external bodies Managing, administering and recording the individual’s medications First Aid training And many more besides! My care experience has included working as a Live-in Carer for two different positions, as well as an Overnight Carer position. I'm fairly flexible about my next role. WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR: My ideal role would be a live-in carer position, on a permanent basis, with approximately 6 weeks off throughout the year. However, I am honestly very flexible with this and would much rather find the right person to care for, than the right hours. I am open to any possible arrangement, whether that is short-term, long-term, nights only etc., and am happy to negotiate that based on your needs. BECOMING YOUR CARER: As a carer, I understand that my main responsibility is to support you, the client. My purpose is to help you to live as independently as possible, with the reassurance that I am there to support you and enable this. Working with you - the client: Firstly, we would work together to create a personalised Care Plan, that explains how I can meet your needs as a carer. From time to time, we will look over this plan again to discuss how things are going and what we might change. On a day-to-day level, I will offer support wherever you might want it, such as: Laundry and Housekeeping Cooking and meal preparation Shopping Personal care including dressing Medication prompts Pet care Companionship when you want it, and time by yourself when preferred Driving you to your appointments and taking you for trips out and about Helping you to maintain family links and friendships. Sharing your hobbies with you. Perhaps we like some of the same things? My own hobbies include reading, visiting the library, watching old Hollywood movies, days out in the countryside, visiting tea rooms, singing, playing board games, watching football matches. From time to time, I will probably need to involve other people in your care; with your permission of course. For example, your family members and friends. I could communicate with your family and friends to let them know how you are. This might be through phone calls, emails, text messages, or in person. I can also liaise with them to set up opportunities for you to meet up and socialise, if you wish. There may also be times where I will need to work alongside medical professionals to make sure you are keeping in good health. I can help you keep on top of appointments, and attend these with you if you like, to communicate key information. Where medical care plans have been issued, I can help you to put them into action and review them afterwards. Please rest assured that these are things we would discuss together and that I would only act with your permission. WHAT’S NEXT? I really hope that you have enjoyed reading my profile and perhaps I might be a good match for what you are looking for in a carer. Please do feel free to get in touch any time to say hello or ask a question. Goodbye for now!

With over ten years of extensive care experience, beginning my journey in 2015 as a live-in carer, I am confident in my ability to provide compassionate and dedicated support to those in need. Throughout my career, I have worked in diverse settings, including supported living, with young people in care, psychiatric hospitals, and various live-in care roles. My passion lies in working with the elderly in their homes, where I thrive in promoting their independence and enhancing their overall quality of life. My responsibilities encompass a wide range of tasks, from assisting with day-to-day activities, meal planning, and preparation of healthy meals to grocery shopping and managing household affairs. I take pride in maintaining strong social connections for my clients, advocating for their needs with other professionals, and ensuring their care plans are individually tailored to promote their health and well-being. Respecting privacy and dignity is paramount to me, reflected in my approach to personal care and ensuring homes are secure and free from harm. I consistently update care plans and risk assessments, perform light housekeeping to minimize risks, and prioritize ongoing professional development to stay current in the field. Understanding the importance of manual handling, I am committed to supporting clients in achieving their goals and independence within the community. My adept communication skills enable me to connect with clients on both physical and emotional levels, fostering a supportive and trusting environment. As a night worker, I recognize the significance of maintaining a safe home environment, conducting thorough checks, and providing timely support when needed. I am meticulous in report writing and efficient in sharing relevant information during handovers. Moreover, I am well-versed in confidentiality practices, equality principles, and the importance of respecting the individuality and choices of each client. On my weeks off from live-in care rotations, I am open to considering sleeping nights, providing additional support for those in need. One of my passions is travel, and I am excited about the prospect of combining caregiving with being a travel companion. I am open to any live-in care position with varying rotas, adapting to the unique needs and wishes of each client. In terms of travel costs, I kindly request the client to cover the return train journey. Furthermore, for daily breaks during live-in care placements, I am flexible with what the client can offer. Whether it's daily breaks or consolidated breaks taken when convenient for the client, I am adaptable to ensure a harmonious caregiving experience. I am confident that my skills and dedication align with the values of health & social care of this country, and I am eager to contribute to the well-being of those under my care.
