Hello! Thanks for checking my profile out! Looking after both my elderly parents during various stages of illness and supporting them throughout over the past 20 years has given me the desire to help others in a career as a companion. I've recently completed a foundation degree (Equivalent to Level 5) in Health and Social Care and gained a High Distinction. I like to make a difference in other people's lives. I'm very friendly and outgoing and a very good listener as well. I'd love to work with befriending and supporting lonely and vulnerable adults to fulfil a happy social life, tailored to their needs as well as bringing happiness and company. I have access to a wheelchair accessible van which I use to support clients to get out and about for social, medical and other appointments. I encourage independence and positivity in all my clients lives to be able to live life to the best.

Hello !! and thank you for clicking onto my profile, I would like to introduce myself as a very positive, respectful genuine person who has always seen the best in people and situations throughout life. I love to help people in any aspect of life, supporting and caring for someone is second nature to me and I personally get so much back from doing so. I would say my best attributes are to make people feel completely comfortable and at ease, cared for and supported. I also feel very humbled and blessed to be a part of someone’s life who needs help, care, assistance, support and attention or just great company with a good sense of humour (so I’m told)? I looked after my lovely mum whilst she was going through cancer 12 years ago (now recovered) in all aspects of caring such as dressing, food preparations, medication, changing storma bags, shopping, appointments, general household duties, mental and physical well being, this is when I realised that caring was for me. I then looked after a gent whose wife had just passed suddenly and he in turn had dementia, and again exactly the same care as my mum had and was required until end of life (6 months) and since then I have cared for a wide range of people in their own homes (domicillary) covering all aspects of care work. I also cared for a lovely gentleman with Parkinson’s and dementia, who needed fully assisted support with dressing and undressing, bathroom assistance, catheters, medication prompting, cooking, company and bedroom routine. I currently take care of a two young adults with disabilities and transport them to various venues, appointments, events and day centres. I also take them out to socialise and entertain on a weekly basis. My main role is to teach life skills, and help with emotional and physical support, so that they may integrate with ease in life, and enjoy their life to the fullest and have great fun in doing so. If I can make the slightest bit of difference to someone’s life, then it truly does make me genuinely a happy and humble person inside. 12 years extensive varied experience Happy to discuss available times And Look forward to hearing from you Warmest Jill
