My previous work covers adult disability fostering services, respite services, community support work, and supported living, including waken and sleeping nights. I live in the north side of Glasgow, however I cover all areas of Glasgow and surrounding. I am a business insured driver and have use of my own car, I also on occasion drive clients cars as requested. I currently work in partnership with a major care provider in Glasgow on a self-employed basis and provide bank work to others as required. I’m fully upto date with all my training, PVG and SSSC registered. I’m currently studying my social work degree which I do in my spare time. I treat everyone I meet with dignity and respect as well as maintaining client confidentiality. I wear visible ID when out and about where a risk maybe presented to myself or the person I’m supporting while respecting the clients right to privacy where possible. I have recently supported Individuals in a range of activities including: • befriending and companionship services, • support in the home, cooking & cleaning etc, • support with medical/health & personal appointments, • provided befriending to individuals in hospitals, • support to the gym, swimming, sauna & massage, • support in shopping, eating out and visits to the pub, • support in trips to museums, zoos, cinemas & sport, • supported in sourcing community groups & clubs, • supporting younger people to school or college, • supported in holidays, short breaks & family visits • support in attending, weddings, funerals & family events, • supporting individuals to meet their religious needs, • provided support in transition of care, moving etc… I hope this gives you a good idea of my experience and willingness to support.

I am generally very busy with a full client base and waiting list, however, care requirements for many clients change frequently so please check with me on my current availability.

🏅 Top-Rated Local Carer

"I have 5 years' experience as a carer. I have 9 months' experience as a live-in carer for an elderly lady with dementia and psychosis. I have also worked as a carer in the local community for East Dunbartonshire Council, where I gained experience of caring for clients with a wide and diverse range of needs. I provided personal care, prepared meals, prompted/assisted with medication, and also loved being a companion to my clients. Since then, I have worked as a companion/carer with clients with early stage dementia, a client who's suffered a stroke, and a client with a heart condition. In addition to this, I've worked as a Music Therapist for adults with learning disabilities, and children with special needs for 18 years. I have completed training in moving and handling. I also have 30 years driving experience, with my own car, clean driver's licence, and some experience of driving a mobility van. As a committed Christian, I'm also more than happy to take/accompany people to services/Mass. I love people, and have a kind and compassionate nature. I also love pets! I can bring music, song and a variety of instruments into my care work, as a fun extra way of connecting with the people I support. I enjoy cooking, driving, taking clients out on excursions, and supporting a person's ability to make their own choices, and independence. I also thoroughly enjoy languages, and am more than ready to try and pick up another language, in order to communicate with my client, if necessary. I love connecting/learning from people of other cultures, faiths, and backgrounds.. Gardening is a passion of mine, and I also enjoy cooking, nature, walking, cycling, and the arts. I am friendly, courteous, respectful, honest, and discreet. My aim is to support each client to reach their fullest potential, and happiness."
