I am a mature professional lady with a young outlook, I have previously enjoyed a variety of work experiences from caring to teaching/pastoral support/learning support in a secondary school, to holistic therapies, to business and renovating properties. I enjoy meeting new people and like to think I bring some sunshine to their day. I am kind, caring, honest and reliable with a good sense of humour! I have worked as a live-in carer and also as a home carer where I visited clients in their own homes. I completed companionship visits, including personal care duties, end of life care including catheter and using hoist equipment. The medical conditions have included stroke, cancer, Parkinson’s disease, heart conditions, Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia. I have also cared for my own Mum who has recently recovered from breast cancer. More recently I have looked after an elderly gentleman with Alzheimer's as a waking night, and also as a live in carer for a lady who was recovering from a stroke. We worked together to promote her independence and I assisted when required. Her health has improved greatly over several weeks. Both contracts were on a self-employed basis. I work closely with the physio and Occupational Therapists. I include the daily exercises to strengthen muscle groups and balance to aid mobility and independence. I also have experience as a Personal Assistant (PA) working with children and young adults with additional needs. I offer hourly companionship/care/chaperone duties and also respite care. I consider live in however I do have a dog and prefer to bring him with me if at all possible. I now have 5 years experience as a companion/carer. I am moving back to Kendal from Cornwall in January 2025 and I am actively looking for visits.

Hello, I am a registered Mental Health Nurse with over 30 years of experience in caring for others. I am currently semi-retired and am seeking hands-on, practical, and personalized care work. This is the type of role that I truly enjoy and where I can bring my wealth of experience, professionalism, and compassionate nature. I am proud to be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and hold an enhanced DBS check and indemnity insurance, as well as a clean full driving license. My previous experience includes working as a carer and support worker, and even gardening before I became a nurse. Throughout my career, I have worked in all areas of Mental Health, including elderly care, complex needs, dementia, psychosis, personality disorders, anxiety, depression, and drug and alcohol addiction. In addition to my nursing experience, I have a wide range of interests such as running, Fell walking, local history, music, reading, and travel. I am also a very sociable person and can easily strike up a conversation with anyone. I am happily married with one grown-up daughter and few other commitments. My availability varies, and I am more than happy to discuss your needs and answer any questions you may have without any obligation. Thank you for considering me for your care needs..

I am Friendly, Empathetic and a Good Listener. A Lancashire lad by birth, with my Parents buying the Squires House in Pilling back in 1963 and creating one of the original Country House Hotels. After attending Blackpool Catering College, joined Trust Houses Forte as a Management trainee at Leeds / Bradford Post House, then went up the management ladder to the Swan Grasmere, Belsfield Windermere, and Waterhead Ambleside. After spending five years at Prince of Wales & Royal Clifton Hotels in Southport, I went on for 13 years as the Tenant of the Albert, Bowness-on-Windermere My son Richard is now Director – Estates, of the Birtenshaw Group, who provides a creative and dynamic range of Care and Education services for children and young adults with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND). Normally, based in Bolton, but has responsibilities for the newly built Merseyside site. I have lived in Bowness-on-Windermere, in the central English Lake District for over 50 years. Some may call it paradise, but with over a million visitors each year on the promenade, some 200 yards from home, it has its moments. 8.00pm is so different to High Noon! To relax, besides walking Sky, a Therapy dog, in this amazing area, in the woods just over a mile away, she loves it, as it a world away from the chaos of the village. I have a Lowrey Grand Marquee organ, which is top of the range machine. More whistles, buttons and sounds than you can play. Very rewarding. My audience usually puts her head between her paws and goes to sleep, it is so relaxing for us both. Having retired from an active hospitality role, I work with Shared Lives, part of the Health and Social Care umbrella of Westmorland & Furness Council. My training is bang up to date, with specialised training in Autism and Dementia. In November 2019, a young autistic gentleman moved in with me, and together we have built the foundations of as strong future for him, as he now started his 2nd year at the University of Cumbria in Carlisle. I also have day respite “clients”, one of whom had Dementia, and it was suggested by his wife, (a judge at Crufts) that I should take Sky’s journey further. We applied to Therapy Dogs Nationwide (TDN) in August 2023, and the rest as they say is history. Sky is a ten-year-old lady Springer Spaniel, who I rescued in November 2022, and loves the attention she gets whenever we are out. My aunt lived in a nursing home until her death earlier this year, and on our visits, she was adored by all the resident’s. I love to explore the “hidden” parts of the English Lake District, but often venture further afield into the Yorkshire Dales, Scottish Borders and the Fylde Coast, with a full, clean driving licence. Please get in touch, if you think I could help you.
