I was a live-in carer for two years and have been a pop-in carer in the Berkshire and Oxfordshire for two years. I was the companion and sole Carer to a 92 year old lady with extensive physical disabilities and changing mental ability through two national Covid lockdowns. After released from a three week hospital stay during the second lockdown I nursed her and took responsibility for her physiotherapy. Under my care physiotherapists said I was more beneficial to her recovery than their occasional visits. The area Occupation therapist has praised my abilities as a Carer, motivator and companion under extremely trying conditions. I bring empathy and the ability to motivate people. The family have provided me with a reference which I would happily pass on to future Clients. I have managed daily finances, household maintenance, correspondence and medical issues. In the later stages this involved hoisting and catheter care. I work closely with the family and Client and want to give people the best chance at a quality of life. I love to craft and read and encourage as much independence as possible.
I have worked in care for over 5 years in various healthcare settings such as domiciliary care, nursing home care, general and mental health hospitals and supported living homes. I have perfected patient centred care and I strive to provide patients with the best care catered to their needs. I am very compassionate and understanding. I enjoy seeing patients enjoy their time in my care and having them feel a sense of relief which brings me overall happiness and satisfaction.
Hi, I am June. I have worked in Health and Social Care for about 17 years. I have worked mostly with adults with learning disabilities and other health conditions. I enjoy Care work as it provides me with an opportunity to contribute towards adding value to an individual's life. During my spare time I enjoy cooking, baking, walking/hiking and fellowship with friends
Hi there ! My name is Ian and come from Argentina (were I have grew up most of my life). I have been a carer working at a care home for dementia and respite tailored care, have formed myself and delivered the highest care to many of our members with different conditions. I am currently studying to get my driving license as I have the provisional at the current time. I have also worked in retail for many promo campaigns and other brands such as De'longhi (who I'm still working with them). I have been working in the UK for five years and counting, and now that I have moved recently to Reading my goal is to have a more stable clientele to get to know better on a daily basis, I have uploaded many of my qualifications as I also posses a Massage Therapy qualification for Holistic and Deep Tissue. This not only limits to body, but also feet, hands and head massage too ! Worth to mention, I have also training certificates on how to perform an LFT Covid-19 and PCR antigen test by the NHS when I used to do covid testing for the council at various locations in London. Please if you have any queries contact me and I'll be happy to answer them. Warm Regards.
