I thoroughly enjoy working in care, and am more than happy to help with personal care, meal preparation, companionship, trips out, toileting, general errands and anything else- so feel free to ask. I am a friendly and chatty lady who is interested in a range of topics and have experience of living abroad. I am university educated and love meeting different people, going for walks, cooking, learning languages, reading and take a keen interest in history. I have recently completed specialised courses in both dementia care and counselling. I have significant experience of working with individuals who have different forms of dementia, have provided end of life care, and worked with clients who have had Parkinson’s, diabetes, stroke victims, those with chronic health conditions, and disabled clients. Other courses that I previously completed include end of life care, food hygiene, manual handling and health and safety. I always strive to bring positivity to others, and am patient, kind, punctual, very trustworthy and discreet, optimistic and friendly. I love caring for others and have always had high standards in everything I do. I take a great deal of pride in my work, have built many wonderful relationships with clients, and have been complimented for my warm nature and ability to make people feel at ease. I am based in Tonbridge, but am happy to drive further afield, so please feel free to contact me with any questions - I look forward to hearing from you.

My ambition to become a nurse, and particularly a nurse for elderly patients, has developed out of my own work experience and a growing sense that my own personal fulfilment lies in serving those who are most vulnerable. After leaving school I worked for some years in customer service roles/ Sales representative which enabled me to develop communication skills and the ability to relate to the demands of other people, but it was when I took on a job as a Nurse at a nursing home for the elderly in 2019 that I discovered how satisfying such work could be and how it gave purpose to my life, both personally and professionally. I worked with patients suffering from Alzheimer’s and came to understand their frustration at being unable to communicate effectively, and I also tended to the needs of terminally ill patients, learning in this way the emotional demands of nursing but also gaining a deep sense of reward from feeling that I had contributed to their welfare during their final weeks and days. Adult nursing is attractive partly because of its variety and the range of options it opens, though I know both from my own experience and from talking to the professional staff I have worked with that the job is very demanding and calls for a greater level of personal commitment than many other occupations, but I believe that my experience has informed my decision and made it realistic and mature. In also worked with residents with emotional and cognitive disabilities which sometimes manifested themselves in challenging behaviour. The whole experience was immensely rewarding despite the real difficulties it posed. I hade one-to-one sessions with Parkinson’s sufferers and with patients with Alzheimer’s, trying to bring relief to the frustrations they feel from their inability to communicate. I am able to administer medicine for the elderly, learning many nursing skills, such as taking blood pressure and noting symptoms, as well as the administrative processes of nursing, keeping accurate notes, relaying information and the like. In all these experiences it is care of the elderly which most attracts me. I feel strongly about the welfare of the elderly and find it difficult to comprehend the news stories which sometimes emerge of poor or abusive treatment of this very vulnerable group. The whole ethos of nursing for me is that one’s sole aim is to strive to achieve the patient’s wellbeing, and that with the elderly one should above all show respect and maintain their human dignity. Outside my nursing interests I enjoy Run. I find that the sport has improved my own fitness and sense of wellbeing immeasurably. I am versatile and adaptable and enjoy being challenged, and I work hard and am very dependable. I work well in a team but am equally confident acting on my own. My greatest virtues are my patience and my genuine compassion for those in my care, no matter how testing the circumstances might be. My commitment is total and I believe I have the qualities to become an excel.

I’ve enjoyed a very varied career to date: classical musician, nursing, international tax consultant, running my own limited company and writing as well as 15 years experience working in care - my real passion. Thoughtful and sensitive, adaptable and practical, my clients say that I'm a very considerate house guest and a good listener with a well developed sense of humour. My wide range of interests include walking in the countryside, BBC Radio 4 - I’m a lifelong Archers fan!, classical music and British social history. Specialist area: dementia care. Preferred rota pattern: 4 weeks on, 4 weeks off but I'm also open to consider shorter term bookings to cover, for example, a period of respite for family carers and regular professional carer holidays.
