Vimbai C.
With over two decades of diverse experience in the healthcare sector, I am a self-employed carer/support worker dedicated to providing exemplary care across all age groups, from infants to the elderly. My journey has led me to serve in various capacities, including family and couples support in private homes, alongside stints in hospitals such as Stroke and Accident & Emergency units, as well as secure Mental Health facilities. I am adept at catering to a range of needs, from stoma bags to tracheostomy care, always ensuring a client-centered approach. My flexible and compassionate nature, coupled with extensive training and insurance coverage, enables me to tailor my services precisely to my clients' requirements. Moreover, my passion for cooking underscores my commitment to providing nourishing, home-cooked meals. Holding a Level 7 Certificate in Allied Health Studies, with a focus on Occupational Therapy, I bring expertise, warmth, and hope to every interaction, even in the face of adversity.

Over the last five years I have worked as a live-in-carer. I have been with my current client for two and a half years. However, as a new grandparent I would like to have more flexibility with hours that I work in order to help with childcare. Prior to live in care, I have worked in various care roles since qualifying for my HND in adult nursing back in 2011. My first live-in care was for a couple that had not previously had a live-in carer, both were initially very against the idea, not understanding why suddenly they needed to have a stranger living in their home. Although initially a challenge, I managed to quickly put them at ease by reassuring them that I was there to keep them safe and secure in their own home and assist and enable them to maintain their normal routine and lifestyle as much as possible, to be a companion, but also to help them remain independent in their own home and cherish all the memories they’ve made there. I built up a great relationship with both them and their family andI cared for them for a year. Skills and Experience • Empathy, patience and compassion towards others • Personal care, assisting with shower, drying, dressing, shaving etc whilst also respecting their dignity and maintaining their independence where possible. • Monitoring pressure points and pressure care • Helping with mobility, prompting using walking aids where necessary or using hoists • Overseeing medication according to the care plan • Household chores helping around the home, such as vacuuming, cleaning and laundry • Preparing and cooking meals of client’s choice • Running errands and assisting with tasks such as shopping • Updating care plans, reviewing and record keeping • Reporting important details to colleagues to ensure a safe and up to date care for client • Preparing for social outings • Liaising with family, district nurses, Drs and other healthcare professionals • Keeping the home environment safe and secure • Keeping up to date with the Care Certificate modules which cover 15 modules including Basic Life Skills, Moving and Handling and Medication About Me I enjoy driving up to the Lakes and taking the dog for long walks up in the Hills and recently started to do some of the Wainright walks. I absolutely adore all creatures great and small. Although have had cats most of my life I now have a black miniature cockapoo, 15 months old called Kip. He stays with my parents when I am working although I have taken him to work with one of my clients as he loves dogs and requested I bring him along too. I found it actually helped uplift his spirits so it worked well. I also love cooking and experimenting with new healthy ideas and recipes and I can loose myself in painting seascapes, animals, portraits and abstract when I have some spare time. For live in care I prefer to work one week on, one week off, mainly because I don’t like to be apart from my dog for too long. However if a client is a big animal lover and doesn’t mind me bringing him along I would consider working longer.
