I started as a carer doing domiciliary care for over a year and this has allowed me to gain experience with a variety of individuals and conditions. I laid down a strong and broad foundation on my first year of being a carer. Despite having worked with patients with Stroke, Dementia, Parkinson's, Alzheimer, Cardiac Arrest, Spinal Injury, Cerebral Palsy, Anxiety, Visual and Hearing Impairment, PEG Feeding and Physical Disabilities, I have gained great experience with Spinal Injury, Dementia and Brain Injury patients. What makes me stand out as a carer is my ability to sympathise with my patients and to deliver a personalised service according to their circumstances and needs. For instance, Spinal Injury patients are complex cases and they ought to receive a service according to their unique need and this same principle applies to every single condition. Therefore, despite my experience on a certain condition, I always assume a learning posture when dealing with a new patient. I am patient, friendly, well organised and I keep everything tidy around me. Happy to provide personal care, companionship and assist with meals or medications. I can cook something light and healthy as well as baking bread, cakes or desserts. Obviously, I always discuss the menu with the person/family respecting their meal preferences. I am happy to accompany the patient to watch TV and also happy to play games, puzzles, listen to music or engage on intelectual and/or philosophical conversations. I have a full clean driving license and my clients enjoy being taken out for meals, walks and events. I am willing to learn new skills and I like to believe that I adapt well to new environments and different personalities. I am aware that any person holding a poor health condition ends up having their mental health also affected. My various trainings combined with my gentle and genuine personality allow me to keep my patients’ dignity and freedom of choice and expression. No one knows the patient better than their family so I am very keen on working side-by-side with my patient's family and I like to use the 'team work' approach. My goal is to bring quality of life into the lives of people who have been limited by physical or mental setbacks. It's not always possible but that is my personal aim. Please get in touch if you feel that I would be a good addition into your beloved's life. Please feel free to reach out.
