Availability update, Oct 2024 - Live-in & overnight: I will be available continuously from the 19th to the 30th of December (inclusive) for one-off live-in and overnight assignments, anywhere in the UK.

Hourly: I am now available for short hourly assignments in the Fife and Tayside areas, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays only. --- I am a Scottish lady with a Law degree who decided to go into care and housekeeping. I started medical school in St Andrews on the 7th of September this year and hope to combine this with occasional hourly care assignments in the local area, as well as live-in work during holiday times. I have been a carer since late 2021, undergoing full residential training with a live-in agency. In my time with the agency I gained experience working with MND, learning disabilities, Parkinsons, stroke, catheter care and late-stage dementia, among others. In May 2022 my friend had a stroke and I was invited by her family to move in and help her to recover. I lived with her as a carer and a friend until June 2023 when she sadly passed away. Since my friend's passing I have worked with a variety of clients through Curam, as well as with a private client from October until March this year. Up to this point my references have been uniformly positive. I have two 'Excellent' recommendations on Curam. I would describe myself as independent, conscientious and an organiser. If your environment is very cluttered or disorganised, this would need to be sorted out before I can start working with you. I do not charge clients for travel to or from placements. I have a full driving licence (manual and automatic) and am insured to take clients in my car. Two practical points: 1. I cannot commit to a placement until the Service Agreement has been approved. Recently (May 2024) a client made a firm offer but pulled out several days later, on short notice. 2. I ask clients to settle their invoices before work begins. Because of a difficult experience in the past, I will not travel to you until this has been done. These funds are held safely by Curam until after the end of the work period and will be refunded if for any reason the work is not completed.

Flora worked as a live-in Carer for 11 weeks over 3 different time frames looking after our 92 year-old Mum, who suffers from a mild form of dementia and has mobility issues. I can recommend her for being very caring and attentive and she communicated well with my brother and me. She likes to keep the house nice and tidy and was happy to prepare fresh healthy meals for them both. Flora has a car and would take Mum out for visits which made her days more enjoyable. Mum enjoyed her company

Flora is an excellent carer and I would recommend her to anyone. Her greatest strengths are her cooking, housekeeping and organisational skills.

I can highly recommend Flora. Apart from being punctual, reliable and very capable she is friendly and thoughtful. She went out of her way to ensure my sister was put at ease and was comfortable.
