My approach is centred on understanding your unique requirements and preferences, ensuring that every aspect of your care is tailored specifically to you. With a compassionate and patient-focused mindset, I work closely with you and your loved ones to create a supportive environment where you feel valued and heard. My goal is to provide not just care, but a partnership that enhances your quality of life and brings peace of mind to you and your family. I have extensive experience supporting English gentlemen with various forms of dementia, including Alzheimer's, Lewy body dementia, and aphasia. My work in this area has given me a deep understanding of the challenges these conditions present, and I am dedicated to providing care that is both sensitive and supportive. In addition to my dementia care experience, I have worked closely with a stroke survivor, performing moving and handling tasks, including hoisting six to ten times a day and managing daily bed transfers and changes. I am skilled in ensuring comfort and safety in all aspects of personal care. I hold a full GB driving licence, own a car, and am available to drive you wherever needed. My experience includes working with convenes—emptying, changing, and washing bags. Washing, bathing, and dressing are second nature to me. I am especially mindful of weak or sore limbs and take great care when dressing. I can provide respite care for spouses in the home, ensuring their loved ones are well cared for while they take a break. In the kitchen, I excel at cooking classic British meals, including roast dinners with all the trimmings, hearty stews, pies, and the ever-popular full English breakfast. I also enjoy gardening. I can plant bulbs before winter, handle spring planting, and maintain your garden with regular watering and feeding. Coming from a farming background, I have been involved in agribusiness for most of my life. I'm passionate about cricket and rugby and would be delighted to accompany you to Lords or Twickenham. I have a strong appreciation for art and theatre, with my daughter being a ballet dancer. I can engage in thoughtful discussions on world politics, always respectful of differing views. Additionally, I have strong administrative skills, proficient in all Office Software, and can assist with bookkeeping if needed. As a companion, I am engaging, attentive, and enjoy spending time with English gentlemen. On a personal note, I am married with four children.

Andrew has been a god send to our family. After our mum died in August our dad had a mental breakdown, had very poor mobility and needed help with his personal care. Andrew came along and attended to all his needs and tried to help our family draw dad out of his deep depression. We hope to have Andrew back on board with the care for our dad when he comes out of hospital in 2025. He has been absolutely amazing!!
