 CA22 2UJ 37584 I have over 20 years experience in Mental Health, Parkinsons, Multiple sclerosis, MND, Learning Difficulties and Palliative care, but mainly various types of Dementia. I love helping people maintain their independence and engage in conservation. I have Level NVQ3 in Health and Social Care. I like knitting and painting, history and reading. I'm happy looking after your pets with food and exercise and taking them to the vet. I’m told my cooking skills are good with basic cooking and ensuring a full rounded nutritional diet. My car has business insurance to transport clients. If you would like to discuss your care requirements I would be happy to arrange a Curam meet video call via the Curam app. 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"}

 DG5 4BS 4459 I live in Dalbeattie and am happy to travel around Dumfries & Galloway for overnight care, and to Ayre, Cumbria and the North East areas for live-in cover. Please note I do not do waking nights. I offer respite live-in and overnight support and holiday and sickness cover for regular carers. I do not do short visits but I'm happy to discuss your needs if longer periods are needed. I'm pet-friendly, very happy to help look after animals and to cook and/or bake, and to help with gardening, cleaning and tidying, or help with personal care - anything you need, just ask! Everyone is unique and has different needs so the rates given are a guide and always include, of course, insurance, DBS check, Curam fees and VAT. I am also sometimes available for Christmas and New Year cover at my standard rates... please just ask. Please note that I am mask exempt and will not be taking any vaccinations. Not having any grandparents I was drawn to older people as a child and would visit older neighbours and help with ironing, tidying around and filling out forms. I was always fascinated by their early life experiences and loved hearing their stories. On leaving school I went into farming, then to University to study Countryside Management, after which I took a few years out to volunteer in my home town, training as an advisor at my local Citizens' Advice Bureau and with the WRVS delivering Meals On Wheels. In 1997 I moved to London and spent an exciting five years as a Transport Planner and then four years in the Lake District National Park Authority as Traffic & Transport Officer. I started a family in 2002. In 2011 I started working for a local community care organisation, had first aid and medication training and quickly became a Senior Carer taking on Out of Hours management and staff rotas. I then spent two years as a Medical Secretary at a GP practice, consolidating my medical knowledge, and left there to spend the past five years looking after my progressively ill mother, who was nursed in bed with a permanent catheter for the last two years of her life. I was her sole advocate, had Power of Attorney for both financial and health & welfare, and managed her personal affairs as well as her care. I enjoy cleaning, organising, cooking and helping people to get the very most out of life in a limiting situation... I have seen both sides of caring: as both a carer and a broker of care packages. I care about timekeeping, doing things properly and providing added value. Rather than be a time-pressured employee of an agency, I relish the opportunity to make meaningful connections with people and develop trusted friendships: this was what I wanted for my mum. I have a current Enhanced Disclosure certificate and in my previous employment as a community carer I completed medication and moving & handling training, but do not have the paperwork to hand at the moment. I am presently learning Italian, renovating my house and building a wildlife garden and pond, and I enjoy 1940s, 1950s music and classical piano. {"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}

 LA23 3ET 285559 I am Friendly, Empathetic and a Good Listener. A Lancashire lad by birth, with my Parents buying the Squires House in Pilling back in 1963 and creating one of the original Country House Hotels. After attending Blackpool Catering College, joined Trust Houses Forte as a Management trainee at Leeds / Bradford Post House, then went up the management ladder to the Swan Grasmere, Belsfield Windermere, and Waterhead Ambleside. After spending five years at Prince of Wales & Royal Clifton Hotels in Southport, I went on for 13 years as the Tenant of the Albert, Bowness-on-Windermere My son Richard is now Director – Estates, of the Birtenshaw Group, who provides a creative and dynamic range of Care and Education services for children and young adults with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND). Normally, based in Bolton, but has responsibilities for the newly built Merseyside site. I have lived in Bowness-on-Windermere, in the central English Lake District for over 50 years. Some may call it paradise, but with over a million visitors each year on the promenade, some 200 yards from home, it has its moments. 8.00pm is so different to High Noon! To relax, besides walking Sky, a Therapy dog, in this amazing area, in the woods just over a mile away, she loves it, as it a world away from the chaos of the village. I have a Lowrey Grand Marquee organ, which is top of the range machine. More whistles, buttons and sounds than you can play. Very rewarding. My audience usually puts her head between her paws and goes to sleep, it is so relaxing for us both. Having retired from an active hospitality role, I work with Shared Lives, part of the Health and Social Care umbrella of Westmorland & Furness Council. My training is bang up to date, with specialised training in Autism and Dementia. In November 2019, a young autistic gentleman moved in with me, and together we have built the foundations of as strong future for him, as he now started his 2nd year at the University of Cumbria in Carlisle. I also have day respite “clients”, one of whom had Dementia, and it was suggested by his wife, (a judge at Crufts) that I should take Sky’s journey further. We applied to Therapy Dogs Nationwide (TDN) in August 2023, and the rest as they say is history. Sky is a ten-year-old lady Springer Spaniel, who I rescued in November 2022, and loves the attention she gets whenever we are out. My aunt lived in a nursing home until her death earlier this year, and on our visits, she was adored by all the resident’s. I love to explore the “hidden” parts of the English Lake District, but often venture further afield into the Yorkshire Dales, Scottish Borders and the Fylde Coast, with a full, clean driving licence. Please get in touch, if you think I could help you. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"1","field_care_type_first":"1, 3","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"1","field_care_type_second":"1, 3","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"1","field_care_type_third":"1, 3","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"1","field_care_type_fourth":"1, 3","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"1","field_care_type_fifth":"1, 3","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"1","field_care_type_sixth":"1, 3","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"1","field_care_type_seven":"1, 3"}

I became a carer because my grandmother had early onset Alzheimer’s and I learnt so much through watching and helping my mother as her primary carer, especially what an important role a carer is to someone. Caring has always come very naturally to me and I believe it’s so important to be able to help one another in this life wherever we can. I am from Zimbabwe but have been working in care for seven years in the UK though an agency and the majority of the time privately in London however now I am living in Penrith and I look forward to working around Cumbria.
