▶ Watch Intro

"I started in the caring industry in my home country in 2016. Currently, I have been working as a carer for five years here in the UK. I have a wide and varied experience in handling and caring for patients and residents, from providing daily personal care to managing different types of conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, acute brain injury, cognitive disabilities, and physical impairments. I believe what has made me successful in this field is my passion and genuine love for adult care, my medical skills and capabilities, my willingness to learn and explore new ideas and experiences, my humility to be trained and mentored, my winning personality, and my positive attitude towards life. I treat my patients no differently from my own family. I am experienced in using hoists and slings for transfers, using sliding sheets for moving and handling, and a variety of moving equipment like wheelchairs and zimmer frames. I have dealt with pressure ulcer prevention and the use of turning charts and wound care. I am skilled in household chores, can cook and do the dishes, and am willing to learn about the cuisine preferences of my clients. I am comfortable working with male or female clients of any age and race, and I can work in an environment with pets. I am fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine provided by NHS Scotland. I can drive and have my own driver's licence and car. I prefer longer hours of work, including 24-hour shifts or three to four days of consecutive stays. I am willing to work even on holidays and weekends."

"Hello there! I have over 20 years of experience in the care industry and in supporting individuals with their daily lives. In this time, I have developed many varied skills, which I execute with compassion and a professional approach. I am a hard worker and enjoy getting to know my clients so I can support their needs, interests, and hobbies as best I can. It’s good to share stories and experiences of life. I respect and value my clients’ privacy, and I support independence where appropriate and possible. I am an efficient housekeeper and like to keep my clients' homes clean and tidy. I enjoy helping my clients look their best at all times and have experience in all aspects of personal care, such as self-grooming, dressing, and hygiene needs. Assistance with cooking, cleaning, administrative, and household duties are all within my remit of care. I have a full driving licence and enjoy taking clients out and about if they wish, as part of a healthy lifestyle, such as walks or wheelchair outings in the fresh air; visits to friends and family; shopping; or trips to places of interest. I am happy to work on a daily basis or provide 24-hour care as well as respite care (this may depend on the geographical location of my client's home). After many years of working with children with assisted learning and physical needs in both the public and private sectors, I moved towards caring for the elderly. I became a self-employed private carer, working both as a daily support worker and providing 24-hour care as part of a team, spanning nearly 12 years now. I am a creative person with an interest in the arts. I was a trained ballet dancer in my youth, so I very much enjoy watching dance on the television or at theatres. I love to be in nature, whether for a walk in the woods or on the beach, walking dogs, or gardening. I like to cook healthy meals and soups, but perhaps I need more practice with baking! Watching old movies is also a favourite pastime, as well as reading. I enjoy peacefulness and activities such as board games and word games, drawing, and painting. As a Christian, I am happy to take my clients to their preferred place of worship. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and if you feel I may be a good fit for you and your needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me – I’d love to hear from you. Thank you, Rhona"
