 PA32 8XU 5985 Hi My name is Gary and I am originally from Scotland although I now work with clients all over the UK. After working for 12 years as a mental health support worker, I decided to broaden my horizons within the social care sector, and for the last 7 years have worked as a self-employed live-in carer. I work in a person-centred way with a broad range of clients including: physical disabilities, learning disabilities, Parkinson's, dementia, mental illness, palliative care and end of life care. I provide practical and emotional support to help people live a safe and independent life in their own home and community. This includes medication administration, personal care, continence care, moving and handling using hoists and other aids, cooking, cleaning and of course companionship. I am also happy to support clients to go on holiday at home or abroad (I have a wide experience of travel all over the world) I am an animal lover, so pets are no problem. I am also a keen motorcyclist and enjoy cooking. 0 2 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"3","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"3","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":true,"field_care_type_sixth":"3","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":true,"field_care_type_seven":"3"}

I work hard to know my clients, so I can help them enjoy their life in their own environment (at home). I have worked with people with cancer, stroke, dementia and I have provided end of life care. I also have experience with mental health, depression, cerebral palsy and MS. I have a full clean European driving license, I like taking clients out to meet friends or go shopping. I became a carer while I looked after my mother, after she was fully recovered, I decided to carry on, working as a live in carer to support who needs help. I love reading, especially fantasy novels and romance books. I have a lovely German shepherd and I love taking him for long walks. I enjoy TV shows and go out to cinemas. I’m looking forward to meeting you and working with you in the future. 1 1 {"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"}

 G63 0JQ 278751 I have worked in the care industry for over 3 years with both male and female clients. All my Care training has been refreshed on an annual basis. I treat all my clients as individuals and aspire to care for them with the best possible knowledge and care I can offer; consideration, dignity, compassion and patience as they all so rightly deserve. I have experienced clients with many different levels of care requirements to include: End of life, Cancer, Visual impairment and hearing difficulties, Mobility (mild to severe lower paralysis), Incontinence (urinary & bowel), Catheter & Stoma, Dementia (mild & advanced). My personal interests are nature & animals, gardening, music, oil painting & writing. I enjoy cooking (but probably better at baking), love to travel and presently chasing my 'bucket list'. By nature I am fairly easy going, not easily stressed, sympathetic and flexible. 1 2 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":false,"field_care_type_second":"","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":false,"field_care_type_third":"","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":false,"field_care_type_fourth":"","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

 PA15 1YD 228495 I have worked as a healthcare assistant and carer over the years. I started from care home , then moved to nhs. I was in the peak of Covid working as HCA in emergency department king’s college hospital in London. I decided to progress by enrolling to do nursing. At the moment, I am a second year student in adult nursing and I still work as carer at my leisure. It is my responsibility and duty of care to protect people I am caring for. I know that for anyone to depend on care services, the person must be vulnerable in one way or the other. However, everyone is different and persons centre care must be considered. Looking after people helps them to enjoy at least a bit of quality of life. Assisting either patients, client, resident most time prolong their lifespan. It is my duty of care to make sure people depending on my services have up to date assessments. They must have choices and liberty towards their desires. I have passion for my career. I am so in love with putting smile on people face base and getting positive feedback from them. I have done a lot of indoor trainings with king’s college hospital which they do not allow us to go with the certificate. They have issued me with my care certificate which covers the indoors trainings. I will be greatly grateful to work for you ( service users) and your families. However, I will make sure I make myself flexible to suit my service user. Your care is a priority. I believe that this is the right time to join as healthcare assistant or support worker, then come back in near future to practice as a registered nurse when I get my pin.

 PH33 7LQ 93306 Since over six years I have been working as a carer providing assistance for vulnerable people with maintaining their independence and lifestyle in their own homes. During this time I have gained experience in maintaining high level of confidentiality and providing support and safety for each service user along with respecting their individual wishes and opinions. In the past I had various jobs, but although I have been always committed and hard working, I’ve never felt at the right place until I started to work as a carer. This position gave me sense of fulfillment and meaningfulness and there is nothing more rewarding for me than making difference in someone’s life, even in the most subtle ways. I can describe myself as passionate, reliable, highly empathic and trustworthy. I am insightful and good observant, I notice any changes in someone’s behaviour, routine and health condition. I treat every person, not only at work, as unique individual, without being judgemental. I realise that everybody has a different story, background, health, mental health condition and experiences, and all these factors affect how people think, feel and react. In the same time I can protect my boundaries in a respectful but assertive manner. Since early adolescence I have been interested in human wellbeing, behaviour, emotions and mental health. Till now, I have been continuing to educate myself in my free time through self development ways: books, articles, webinars, training courses, listening to expert’s speeches and channels related to psychology and especially to abuse, trauma and addictions. I must also mention my other supporting role - the main one. Since fourteen years I have been mother to my son and can’t imagine more challenging but also the most rewarding role. It motivates me to gain more knowledge and skills to teach my son how to overcome difficult times in the future, lead meaningful life and be responsible for his own actions. I also look after my three pets and enjoy walks with my dog (and my stalking cat :)). I treat my job position very seriously and try to do my best as it affects not only people who I care for, their family and work colleagues, but in the bigger picture it has also impact on me and my family’s wellbeing. 0 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":false,"field_care_type_second":"","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":false,"field_care_type_third":"","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":false,"field_care_type_fourth":"","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

 G15 7EP 108803 I have a great passion for helping others live comfortably in their own homes. I assist clients with daily living tasks they can no longer perform personally due to illness, frailty or being affected with a physical disability, and mobility issues. I have supported clients who were affected with Dementia, Parkinson disease and some needed companionship as they are lonely in their homes. I have also supported clients who were depressed and were very anxious about life. As no two people are the same, I work using the Person - Centred Approach. I treat clients with dignity and respect. This means I respect their rights, wishes, and choices as long as they do not put them into harm or danger. I work adhering to Legislation and Policies and Procedures. I am a team player and have a listening ear, too. I bring smiles to my clients by appreciating them and treating them with respect and having time doing things the client wants and having cups of tea with cake or biscuits too. This helps to create a very good rapport. I love cooking and baking and sometimes try new things that clients want if I do know them, especially food as I am from Africa originally. I love making someone smile daily by supporting them in A Person -Centred Way as it is to their choice, not mine . I promote clients' independence, that is, letting them do what they can. I was a Primary School Teacher in Zimbabwe for over 22 years. I taught children from primary one up to seven. When I came to the UK, I decided to help older adults and went to university to train as a social worker. I chose to work with older adults as I had a lot of interest to be with my grandparents when I was young. I had a very good relationship with them. I have very good listening skills and respect others to talk before me. I hold a diploma in social work, and I supported the elderly when I was on placement and I enjoyed that so much, and this made me want to work as a Live-in-Carer. 0 2 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":false,"field_care_type_second":"","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":false,"field_care_type_third":"","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":false,"field_care_type_fourth":"","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}
