✅ DBS Checked & Insured

"My name is Ethel, and I am an experienced, professional, and caring lady with over 20 years dedicated to the care and support of others. I did not initially intend to focus on live-in care, but repeated requests from clients and their families have led me to specialise in Live-In and Domiciliary care for over 10 years. I continue to keep up to date with practices in various sectors of the care industry, including nursing and community care, and still work in these environments. I have training and practical experience in specialist areas, such as special needs, dementia, palliative care, as well as managing challenging behaviours, self-harm, violent outbursts, danger to the public, and Autism and Down's Syndrome. I believe we should all work together, as it is only then that we can create the type of world most of us wish to live in. My personal life revolves around my family, which takes up much of my free time, including my son and wife, granddaughter, nephews, nieces, cousins, and of course, my “aunties” and “uncles,” who still offer me advice on anything (or everything). I am also an “auntie” to a few, and I am happy to provide advice and guidance based on my own experiences in life. A few other African ladies and I have formed a club to invest resources in helping and empowering Africans, primarily in Southern Africa, but also abroad, especially women, and we encourage them to do the same for others. I do not offer my services lightly; however, when I commit to something, I do it to the best of my ability, utilising my experience and upbringing, which taught me that the greatest thing we can do is care for others. Please give me a call so we can discuss hours, rates, needs, wants, etc. Then give me a try; you won’t regret it."

🏅 Top-Rated Local Carer

"I chose to become a carer because I am deeply passionate about supporting adults with a range of needs, including those living with mental health challenges and dementia. My journey began with caring for my grandmother full-time for over five years, during which I gained invaluable hands-on experience and developed a strong understanding of compassionate, person-centred care. Prior to that, I also cared for my great-uncle during his end-of-life stage, which gave me early insight into the emotional and physical support people need during such sensitive times. Over the past five years, I have worked as a live-in carer through an agency and as an assistant carer. I am currently studying to become a nurse, which has deepened my knowledge and enhanced my clinical skills. My Key Responsibilities Have Included: - Administering and prompting medication - Supporting clients with dressing, washing, bathing, and all aspects of personal care, always maintaining dignity - Assisting with continence care - Observing and reporting any changes in mood, skin condition, or behaviour to the care team - Preparing meals and undertaking light housework duties - Maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable home environment - Supporting service users with their morning and evening routines - Completing detailed care plans to ensure tailored, quality care I am compassionate, reliable, and respectful of each individual’s needs and preferences. I am available most weekends and would love to support anyone in need of kind, professional care. Please feel free to get in touch if you are interested."
