I worked for nearly 3 years until recently in home caree support for people with a variety of vulnerabiities, providing anything from personal care to enabling, having previously run a Social and Therapeutic Horticulture project for adults, mostly with a learning disability. I now work only part-time, if that, through Curam. I am patient, personable, kind and compassionate, well-educated with an interest in other people.

I stayed with dad overnight for 2 months in his room and watched him closely mostly at night to be sure he was safe as he had to have one leg out of the bed due to his bad leg which was tricky keeping him in his own bed with no hospital bed as it wasn’t workable in his case and also the medication he was on was very strong, i kept dad safe from any falls in the night and have no regrets with the care I gave dad, he said thank you for everything you do for me x I’d love to help you or your loved one have the same care and attention as my own dad, with upmost respect, stories read, help with crosswords, jigsaws, colouring books, feeding, watering and watching the birds, I know exactly how you feel at these difficult times.
