 HG1 5DQ 11848 LOOKING FOR LIVE-IN PLACEMENTS - FLEXIBLE RE ROTA I am a hardworking, highly committed, reliable and loyal individual. I have a confident, approachable and friendly personality with the distinct advantage of being able to get on with a wide range of people from various age groups and social backgrounds. I work well on my own initiatives as well as part of an effective team. I am a caring and helpful person who can communicate very effectively with all groups of vulnerable people. My work experience at Elderthorpe residential and nursing care home enabled me to communicate effectively. I started work in 2009 as health care assistant until 2013 then I decided to work as a live-in carer. I assisted clients with dementia, learning difficulties and end of life. I have acquired excellent all round care skills including personal care, cleaning, laundry, meal preparations and shopping. I am a good listener and communicator with empathy, patience and understanding. I am a very confidential and mature person. I do not discriminate people and I'm not judgemental either. I am gentle by nature, patience, understanding and empathetic, always working according to the client's instructions and care and medication plans, adhering to good practices and excellent record keeping skills. I gained knowledge of treating people as individuals and treating them equally. I have knowledge of promoting independence and making sure they are safe always using my knowledge of health and safety guidelines. I did some training in moving and handling, first aid and food hygiene. I am trained to administer a wide range of medication. On my break time I love to read, listen to music, shopping, exercising, and 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"}

 LS22 6RQ 194304 Hello My name is Janine and I have over 30 years of experience in care or care-related industries, I started caring when my own son was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy and learning difficulties so I can empathize with both clients and their families and friends and appreciate the many possible difficulties faced whilst also offering a positive person-centred approach. Over the last 30+ years, I have worked in holistic therapies, where I often did work with clients who had medical conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis and cancer, and with the ambulance service where I was a paramedic dealing with emergencies, end-of-life situations and where I also did a secondment working with neonatal babies. Whilst living in London I did temporary care work for an agency that provided care mainly to children with complex medical conditions and disabilities. In addition to this, I have volunteered with a local charity providing both emotional and physical/medical support to a varying age range of clients from different backgrounds and driving a minibus enabling clients to go on trips and outings. More recently I have worked with people post-trauma and facilitated group sessions whilst promoting well-being using various methods such as art and nature. This last post also meant I had to take safeguarding and moving, and handling certificates and I am fully aware of GPDR compliance. Because of my past experiences and qualifications, I am able to work with a wide variety of clients of all ages and with various needs and I enjoy working in an environment where I feel I can make a positive difference in someone's life. I have a very calm, patient, and empathic personality and believe in a person-centred approach to care and in promoting independence and dignity. My degree is in social psychology, and I am currently studying for an MA in interdisciplinary psychology where I cover a wide range of approaches and critical views of mental health and wellbeing. When I am not working or studying, I enjoy creating mixed media art and visiting galleries and museums, I also enjoy being outside and just appreciating nature and often take my mindfulness and meditation practice outside. My other likes are cooking and experimenting with different foods from different cultures and reading. 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":true,"field_care_type_second":"1","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"1","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"1","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"1","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":""}

I have 9 years experience providing care to those in need in their own homes. Throughout my career, I have developed deep understanding of the needs of those with disabilities, elderly and those with chronic illnesses. I am a compassionate and reliable professional who puts the needs of clients first and goes above and beyond to ensure their comfort and safety. I also take pride in my ability to establish strong connections with clients, while providing the highest level of care and support. I possess excellent communication skills and am able to quickly build rapport with clients, as well as their families and caregivers. My attention to detail and commitment to providing quality care have always been highly praised by my employer following positive feedback from clients regarding my work and performance. I am confident that I possess the skills and experience necessary to excel in looking after people with dementia both early and late stages, palliative care, chronic conditions like diabetes, COPD, asthma, stoma care, PEG feed, tracheostomy care, catheter care, continence issues and those people recovering from Stroke. I am a qualified nurse by profession and I do live in nursing which includes supporting people with personal grooming, administration of medication, cooking, cleaning and gardening and keeping the house homely. In addition to my registered nurse qualifications, I have certificates in Neurogenic Bowel management, Catheterisation, Sepsis awareness and Mandatory &Statutory Training Course which covers (moving and handling, Safeguarding of adults, infection prevention and control, health safety and welfare). Additionally, I am able to provide compassionate and emotional support to clients in non judgmental and non intrusive manner. I believe in person centred care and promote independence to those under my care. I respect people’s boundaries and preferences. I am keen to know their life stories and channel care guided by those. So memory boxes act as an essential tool in people with dementia. I love to make people feel at ease as I am approachable, flexible and reliable. I approach work with the highest level of sensitivity and understanding. I always desire to help people in achieving the best possible outcome regarding their activities of daily living. When I am relaxing, far from work, I like reading, watching documentaries and films on Netflix, listening to music and travelling. Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you think I can help you. {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"0","field_care_type_first":null,"field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"0","field_care_type_second":null,"field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"0","field_care_type_third":null,"field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"0","field_care_type_fourth":null,"field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"0","field_care_type_fifth":null,"field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"0","field_care_type_sixth":null,"field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"0","field_care_type_seven":null}
