"I am a highly motivated and goal-oriented individual with a compassionate and respectful attitude. I have extensive experience in the health care profession. I served 20 years in military hospitals as a qualified nurse in my home country, and I am not PIN registered in the UK. I love to serve vulnerable individuals with special needs. I provide personal care, emotional support, and assistance with household chores, administer medication, monitor health, carefully maintain records, and collaborate with other health professionals to support a person's independence and well-being. I also have substantial knowledge and experience in handling and moving, safeguarding, and infection control training."

"Hi, my name is Serena, and I am 52 years old. I am originally from Italy, but I have been living in Scotland since 2013. Previously, I worked as a carer in my home country, where I was a live-in carer for a couple; the wife had Alzheimer's and the husband was 89 years old. Their daughter also faced challenges due to bipolar disorder, which presented me with several difficulties. I managed all household tasks, scheduled appointments, and administered medications. For almost three years, I have been looking after a lady with dementia and limited mobility. I then started working in care homes and the wider community, gaining knowledge about hoists, lifting techniques, and various stages of dementia. I have also obtained my SVQ3 qualification. I am very attentive to the needs of my clients and always strive to uplift them. I understand their situations and promote their independence, as well as their human rights. I have encountered behavioural challenges and have learned how to react in the best way to help individuals calm down. I can change stoma bags, use hoists, and cook. I have a car and would love to care for people in their homes, as I believe they feel more comfortable in familiar surroundings."
Safety is a priority through the night, especially for those discharged from the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital or Glasgow Royal Infirmary.

"I’ve primarily worked with adults (18+) providing a range of care duties since 2005. My previous work encompasses adult disability fostering services, respite services, community support work, and supported living, including waking and sleeping nights. I live in the north side of Glasgow; however, I cover all areas of Glasgow and the surrounding areas. I am a business-insured driver and have use of my own car; I also occasionally 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 up to date with all my training, PVG, and SSSC registered. I’m currently studying for my social work degree in my spare time. I treat everyone I meet with dignity and respect while maintaining client confidentiality. I wear visible ID when out and about where a risk may be presented to myself or the person I’m supporting, while respecting the client's 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, • Support with medical/health & personal appointments, • Providing 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 & sports, • Supporting in sourcing community groups & clubs, • Supporting younger people to school or college, • Supporting in holidays, short breaks & family visits, • Support in attending weddings, funerals & family events, • Supporting individuals to meet their religious needs, • Providing support in the transition of care, moving, etc. I hope this gives you a good idea of my experience and willingness to support. My hourly rate is a reflection of the professional service that I provide as a private carer. I am generally very busy with a full client base and a waiting list; however, care requirements for many clients change frequently, so please check with me on my current availability. Should you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me through the Curam Platform."

There are several ways you may be able to help with the cost of home care in Glasgow. Depending on your needs and circumstances, support may be available through Glasgow City Council, Self-directed Support or disability benefits. A Curam care adviser can explain your care options and signpost you to appropriate independent guidance.
Glasgow City Council can assess your care and support needs and, where you are eligible, may contribute towards the cost of your care following a financial assessment.
In Scotland, Self-directed Support gives eligible people more choice and control over how their social care is arranged. You may be able to choose who provides your support and how your agreed care budget is used.
One Self-directed Support option is to receive a direct payment from your local authority so you can arrange eligible care and support yourself, subject to your assessed needs and agreed support plan.
You may also be entitled to financial support such as Pension Age Disability Payment or Adult Disability Payment. Eligibility depends on your age, care needs and personal circumstances.
Some people choose to fund some or all of their home care privately using income, savings or other personal funds, particularly when they want additional hours or greater flexibility over their care arrangements.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to combine local authority support, benefits and your own funds to create a care arrangement that better meets your day-to-day needs.
Curam carers support people across Glasgow and surrounding communities throughout West Central Scotland. Explore local home care options near you, including hourly, overnight and live-in care, subject to carer availability in your area.
