I have a degree in Health and Social Care and have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, including nursing and residential care homes, domiciliary care, live-in care, palliative care, and NHS hospitals. When I worked in a care home, I had the opportunity to collaborate with people from different fields to give the residents with dementia the best care possible. These people included doctors, families, nurses, and therapists. We collaborated to create a personalized plan for each resident which included social, medical, emotional, and physical support. It was a rewarding experience to work with such a team and witness the positive impacts on the residents' well-being. I have applied this knowledge to my current position as a private living in caregiver, and I can be trusted to independently provide my clients with high-quality care and a secure and comfortable environment. For example, to support the well-being of dementia patients, I offer daily activities that challenge their physical, emotional, and cognitive abilities. This includes exercises or simple walks to improve their mobility, taking them to places of interest such as flower gardens, providing companionship, engaging them in mind games, puzzles, and music whenever possible. My experience in the care sector is broad. In addition to working with the elderly, I work with people suffering from cancer, stroke, cardiovascular, diabetes, Parkinson’s, peg feeding and people with disabilities, among others. I enjoy my job, and it is rewarding to help people maintain their dignity, well-being, and independence in their own homes. My responsibilities and duties include providing personal care, administering and prompting medications, monitoring vital signs, preparing meals, housekeeping, shopping, manual handling, and going to appointments and events with them, to mention a few, while ensuring their safety. When faced with a difficult situation, I always take a step back and evaluate it objectively. I try to be calm and professional, address any immediate concerns. Additionally, if I feel that I am unable to handle the situation on my own, I am always willing to ask for help and advice from the family members or the person in charge. In terms of approach, I am cooperative and open to help. When there are two caregivers living with a client and conflicts arise, I believe it is crucial to address them calmly and professionally. I would begin by attempting to resolve the issue or misunderstanding by speaking privately with my colleague who is involved. It is important to listen to their side of the story, share my thoughts, and hopefully agree on a solution that benefits both of us. If the conflict persists, I will notify the family member in charge, who can investigate further and advise on how to proceed. Finally, I work hard to ensure my clients are secure, comfortable, and safe free from abuse, neglect, or other harm. I have a clean UK driving license and own a car. I’m looking for full time live-in/out care, long days, or waking nights.
