 GU35 8PF 248041 Hi my name is Paola and I am a Bolivian/British. I have been in the UK since 2006 and since have worked with people with different types of disabilities and older people providing care in their own homes. I love my job and enjoy the company of my clients and the feeling of satisfaction when I leave them knowing they are able to continue with their normal life and be independent in some ways. I am a very happy and positive person and I would like to think that I can transmit that to the people around me. I hold a clean UK driving licence for over 15 years. {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"1","field_care_type_first":"1","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"1","field_care_type_second":"1","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"1","field_care_type_third":"1","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"1","field_care_type_fourth":"1","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"1","field_care_type_fifth":"1","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"1","field_care_type_sixth":"1","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"1","field_care_type_seven":"1"}

 RG22 5BN 296775 I've trained as a registered nurse in South Africa. I have been in the nursing and health sector for several years, with extensive experience in various nursing and healthcare industries, and additional post-basic qualifications. My experience ranges from general nursing, community, psychiatry, and midwifery. I have also worked in primary health care in retail pharmacies.. Although I'm a registered nurse with an NMC pin, I am now focusing more on full-time, professional live-in carer roles, and I'm receiving ongoing continuous development training relevant to such roles. I've supervised over carers in the district when I've worked in South Africa as a nurse. In this role as the district sister, I was responsible for visiting new clients and compiling individualised care plans and giving guidance and support to carers on how to keep these up to date. I was further responsible for driving around in the district, visiting clients where they had their designated carers allocated to them. I would support and give guidance to the carers, put out the medication as prescribed by their GP, I would also do various woundcare, and give guidance to the carers and client's family members on how to deal with a wound if necessary. I've also done post-op wound care and post-op assistance, especially for orthopaedic post-op patients. I've been a registered nurse phlebotomist as a travel nurse, taking blood for insurance companies as well as pathology laboratories where I've performed bloodtaking on adults and children. In my recent role as an RN in a hospital here in the UK, I've worked closely with consultants. Post-op wound care and taking blood from patients were a prominent part of my role. I've recently explored other opportunities, and for instance have I looked after people’s houses and pets, which included light cleaning chores. I’ve had excellent feedback from customers in the private hospital setting, praising my nursing skills, friendliness, and professionalism. Transferable attributes: - Caring and compassionate - Good interpersonal skills - Friendly and polite - Professional - Good listener - Good social skills - Excellent customer relations - Good conflict handling skills - Excellent communicator - Analytical and good judgement - Positive outlook - Problem-solving skills - Good sense of humour - Passionate about nature - Animal and pet lover. Hobbies Hiking, walking,  gym, wild camping, dine and wine, travelling, birdwatching, Arts and Crafts, Cooking, DIY’s, Compassionate about animals and nature, Watching a good movie, dramas, and listening to golden oldies from the 60, 70 and 80-ties, any other music with a slow rock and pop tune, or just gentle, spiritual/meditation music. 0 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"4, 3","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"4, 3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"4, 3","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"4, 3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"4, 3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":true,"field_care_type_sixth":"4, 3","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":true,"field_care_type_seven":"4, 3"}

 RG22 5LQ 290830 I'm a 65-year-old male carer, widowed and retired from a career in academia and business consulting, transitioning into care work in 2018. I have worked with a wide range of support needs, including Parkinson’s, stroke, COPD, MS, sepsis, dementia, spinal cord injury, heart surgery and general infirmity. I'm also the author of a nutrition guide and cookbook for carers. My service is highly personalised, with a focus on problem-solving and facilitating as high a quality of life as possible. Am I the right carer for you? To help you decide, you may like to know some specific details about what I can offer and how I work, such as: •  As a male carer, I can attend to all practical and personal needs of male service users. In the case of female service users, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to provide intimate personal care. However, I’m happy to support ladies with all other needs such as moving and handling, nutrition, companionship and household support. •     I am passionate about preparing healthy, nutritious meals. We will discuss your personal preferences and specific dietary needs and develop a meal plan from there. •     Hoisting: If you require hoisting or other mechanical lifting aids, I can offer experience with a wide range of equipment. In the case of mobile floor-based hoists, safety regulations require that a second trained person is available to assist. This may be another care professional or a suitably trained family member or friend. •     Geographical coverage: I’m happy to support clients in most of England and Wales, up to about 300 miles from my home in the southeast. •     Driving: I have a clean driving licence and full business insurance, and drive a large vehicle in which wheelchairs can easily be carried. I’m more than happy to transport and accompany clients to appointments and social engagements (with the exception of religious services). Mileage is charged at £0.45 per mile for outings and travel between my home and the service user’s address. •     Pets: Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and therefore unable to work in households with them. Other species of pets are no problem. •     Smokers: On the topic of allergies, I’m also allergic to tobacco smoke and therefore unable to work in smokers’ households. •     Night support: If you require support at night, we can discuss the extent and nature of such support, as it may attract fees or a need for additional care personnel. •     How long will I be with you on any given occasion? The duration of support spells is always negotiable, depending on your requirements and my availability at the time. 1 2 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"1","field_care_type_first":"3","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"1","field_care_type_second":"3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"1","field_care_type_third":"3","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"1","field_care_type_fourth":"3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"1","field_care_type_fifth":"3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"1","field_care_type_sixth":"3","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"1","field_care_type_seven":"3"}
