I have been in care work for 8 years in both residential home and private homes in a family setting. I have gained varied experience in that time supporting vulnerable young adults and elderly people in their homes. I was inspired to do such work as a consequence of helping to care for my autistic sister and helping care for my disabled brother in law. I care deeply about the work that I do and gain great job satisfaction from helping and improving the quality of life of the people that I care for. I am reliable ensuring that what needs to be done is done and is done to a high standard. I am empathetic, patient and compassionate. Weekend rates - £20ph

My first experience of working in care was during my schooling when I key-worked a pupil living with dyspraxia and supported others with reading. This early start continued through volunteering in a local care home before university and working as a Home Carer primarily for the elderly during my vacations and as a residential Carer for adults with learning difficulties. My life then took a totally different direction and I worked in the corporate world for 20 years finally as an HR Director. Choosing early retirement (it really was early I’m currently 47) has enabled me to return to my passion of caring once more and had the privilege of working with a care company for almost 2 years. In that time I achieved my Care Certificate and met many lovely people along the way with differing needs; advanced dementia with double incontinence; palliative care of someone with bowel cancer and body wide secondaries up until hospice admission and those with age related physical limitations. Since leaving this company I have worked in a Consensus owned residential care facility for adults with complex learning difficulties supporting the individuals there to live their best lives. Both companies are great with training so I am up to date with all regulatory and additional training. Food can often become a chore for individuals and I enjoy making food enjoyable by involving them in the decision making and cooking process as much as possible. I enjoy gardening at home and where possible spend time with those that like to doing light gardening or visiting garden centres. When it comes for quieter times, reading aloud or sharing puzzles can be relaxing way too spend the time as can a good chat. I’ve travelled extensively so can usually join in with anecdotes on the places we have in common and love to learn about new ones.

My mission is to approach everybody holistically, on a physical, emotional and mental level and to ensure my clients have as good a quality of life as possible at every stage of their lives. I have 8 years of experience in the care sector and provide always empathetic, patient and kind but firm care towards my clients with a very good sense of humour. I've worked with people living with dementia or with chronic illnesses like stroke, heart or kidney disease and cancer. I have strong experience in moving and handling techniques as well as at different levels of personal care. I'm very good at tolerating monotony and I have many experiences as well as a deep commitment to end-of-life care so being specialized I'm studying at the Soul Midwives School at this time. Before becoming a carer I worked as a specialized teacher and a certified massage therapist in Hungary and I'm very grateful for the lots of experience I've gained from working with my clients of different ages and problems. In my spare time, I love going for long walks, I really love Nature, music, good books and having lovely chats as well as meaningful talks with people around me. As a live-in carer, I’m happy to travel to placement all over the country if it’s available by public transport. I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon if you think I could help you.

I had to describe myself in three words, I would say: reliable, caring, loyal. I have been working as a live-in carer in the UK since 2017. Until now I was working clients with spinal cord injuries. But I also have experience with people living with dementia, MS, Parkinson's disease, Down syndrome. I worked with my last client from 2020 to 2024. The most important thing for me is mutual trust and respect. I like to having conversation, but I'm also good at listening when I need to. I always keep in mind that the client I work with should feel as comfortable as possible. To achieve this, I try to quickly learn their daily routines and habits, support them in what they need help with, but also allow them to remain independent. I like to cook, either alone or with the client, for example following his/her instructions if he/she is physically limited. I read a lot, especially fiction and am a big movie lover. Since 2011 I have been practicing a wonderful martial art, TaiJi. Contact me, and I’ll reply as soon as I can. Thank you.
