LOOKING FOR LIVE-IN PLACEMENTS - FLEXIBLE RE ROTA I am a hardworking, highly committed, reliable and loyal individual. I have a confident, approachable and friendly personality with the distinct advantage of being able to get on with a wide range of people from various age groups and social backgrounds. I work well on my own initiatives as well as part of an effective team. I am a caring and helpful person who can communicate very effectively with all groups of vulnerable people. My work experience at Elderthorpe residential and nursing care home enabled me to communicate effectively. I started work in 2009 as health care assistant until 2013 then I decided to work as a live-in carer. I assisted clients with dementia, learning difficulties and end of life. I have acquired excellent all round care skills including personal care, cleaning, laundry, meal preparations and shopping. I am a good listener and communicator with empathy, patience and understanding. I am a very confidential and mature person. I do not discriminate people and I'm not judgemental either. I am gentle by nature, patience, understanding and empathetic, always working according to the client's instructions and care and medication plans, adhering to good practices and excellent record keeping skills. I gained knowledge of treating people as individuals and treating them equally. I have knowledge of promoting independence and making sure they are safe always using my knowledge of health and safety guidelines. I did some training in moving and handling, first aid and food hygiene. I am trained to administer a wide range of medication. On my break time I love to read, listen to music, shopping, exercising, and cooking.

i am looking at all options of days, weeks but am negotiable within reason as long as I stay within the Harrogate/surrounding areas. I am a mature professional who has really excellent references from reputable families that I've truly earned. I am healthy and active, love multitasking and have a can- do attitude. I like to keep a happy environment in the home and laugh a lot as i find that it definitely eases any sad or confused issues which are v common.I also like structure in the home and like to keep daily notes on Cluents as well as Meds. I LOVE cooking healthy wholesome, home food but also the odd " lemon loaf or scones". I'm a HUGE animal lover from Horses to chickens so the Countryside or rural also suits me! I can honestly say that my Clients and their families have always remained very good Friends with me. In fact, I prefer to give out my references prior to meeting my Client or the family. Ooohhh...I also love gardening.

I have previously supported individuals in a wide range of settings including forensic hospitals, community care, and private homes across Somerset, Devon, South Wales, and Yorkshire. I’m known for delivering person-centred, empathetic, and highly skilled care that supports the dignity and well-being of each individual. My experience ranges from supporting people with complex mental health needs to offering assistance with daily tasks like medication administration, meal preparation, bathing, and companionship. I also bring strong leadership skills from roles where I supervised support staff and coordinated care plans. A typical day with me involves not just supporting physical health, but also promoting emotional well-being. I love to incorporate gentle activities like walks, swimming, Zumba, or even just chatting over a cup of tea — whatever brings comfort and joy to those I support.

I’m also passionate about learning and often spend time updating my knowledge on health care practices and well-being. Availability & Areas Covered: I am available for both short- and long-term bookings and can work across Yorkshire and surrounding areas. I can offer regular weekly support or more flexible arrangements depending on your needs. What to Expect from Me: Clients often describe me as kind, reliable, and professional.
