"Availability update, 2026 I can offer live-in support on the following dates, inclusive: - from the 5th to the 20th of April, for a placement of one week or more; and - from the 13th of June to the 26th of July, for a placement of at least four weeks. For the right client, I can travel anywhere in the UK and do not charge travel expenses. --- In June 2025 I was named Curam's carer of the month! I am a Scottish lady with a Law degree who decided to go into care and housekeeping. I started medical school in St Andrews in September 2024 and hope to combine this with live-in work during holiday times. I have been a carer since 2021, undergoing full residential training with a live-in agency. In my time with the agency I gained experience working with MND, learning disabilities, Parkinsons, stroke, catheter care and late-stage dementia, among others. In May 2022 my friend had a stroke and I was invited by her family to move in and help her to recover. I lived with her as a carer and a friend until June 2023 when she sadly passed away. Since my friend's passing I have worked with a variety of clients through Curam, as well as with a private client from October 2023 until March 2024. Up to this point my references have been uniformly positive. I have seven 'Excellent' recommendations on Curam. I would describe myself as independent, conscientious and an organiser. I communicate my observations and suggestions with clients and their families on a constant basis, often several times per day. If your environment is very cluttered or disorganised, this would need to be sorted out before I can start working with you. For placements which involve cooking, I generally ask for access to a dishwasher. Apart from my native English, I am a DPSI-qualified Spanish interpreter with excellent Italian and French. I do not charge clients for travel to or from placements. I have a full driving licence (manual and automatic) and can be insured to take clients in my car. Two practical points: 1. I cannot commit to a placement until the Service Agreement has been approved. Recently (May 2024) a client made a firm offer but pulled out several days later, on short notice. 2. I ask clients to settle their invoices before work begins. Because of a difficult experience in the past, I will not travel to you until this has been done. These funds are held safely by Curam until after the end of the work period and will be refunded if for any reason the work is not completed. 3. I cannot offer a refund if, after the Agreement has been approved, work is no longer required, for example if the client moves into a care facility on short notice."
