Alison W
A qualified nurse (Johannesburg General, South Africa), I have been a live-in carer for over 3 years in the UK. I also provided care for my late brother (cancer) and mother (stroke) in South Africa. English is my mother tongue, I am also fluent in French and Afrikaans and have a smattering of other languages. My clients seem to enjoy my gentle nature, sense of humour and good cooking skills. I like being busy and am happy to fit into any household with efficiency, calmness and a friendly face.

Martin S.
I am a kind, passionate, friendly, empathetic soul. Working in care on and off since the 1990's. This was within hospitals, care homes and more recently live in care. Recently I looked after 3 different clients in their home. This was in many situations, including a millionaires house. The people I have helped look after over these years have been very varied. From patients with broken bones, to cancer, copd and more. As well as this I've worked on mental health wards, in some challenging places. My hobbies are watching football, movies, series. I also like to walk, travel and like photography and art. I love music and going to concerts. I got into care as I have looked after my ex partner who had mental health issues and helped look after my grandmother, when I had time , as she lived away from where I lived. I thankyou for taking the time to read this and hope I can be of help to you.

John I
My name is John (Ioannis). I am of Greek heritage, but born and educated in Zimbabwe and South Africa. I have a university degree in economics and management and I have operated my own financial consultancy for 17-years. I am a Commissioner of Oaths. In 2021 I emigrated to the UK in order to acquire the right to reside here so that my children could join me from Zimbabwe. Once here, I was offered a position with a caring agency in England as a live-in carer for a refined lady of 96-years who had suffered a stroke the previous year. She was wheelchair bound although her other faculties were unaffected. I was one of two full-time carers undertaking all normal caring for the lady. I also administered the household, provided companionship for her and did all the cooking and driving. I was with her for 2-years and then moved to Scotland to be near my sister and her family. Once in Scotland, I became a member of a team of carers, caring for a gentleman suffering from advanced MS. During the 18-months with him I gained additional experience in hoisting, supra-pubic catheter operation and maintenance and PEG feeding. For the past 6 months I have been in full-time employment with East Ayrshire Council as a Community Care Officer providing daily care services to up to 16 different service users suffering from a variety of health conditions. I am sociable, articulate, inquisitive and driven to excel in everything I undertake.
