I have had a rich and varied working life. I have a History degree and I was a special needs teacher for 18 years. In recent years, I have cared for loved ones who have MS and schizophrenia. I also enjoyed working as a foster carer for four years and I found this role very rewarding. As an advocate with the Alzheimer's Society, I received extensive training in dementia care. I have a great understanding of the obstacles that families can face and I worked well as a Carers Wellbeing Officer. As a teacher, I had additional teaching in alternative communication methods, physio exercises and speech/feeding. During the pandemic, I have worked hard as a care worker in people's own homes. and I have completed stroke awareness training. I would like to become self-employed and I am happy to work in areas such as Wrexham, Flintshire, Malpas/West Cheshire. I can assist with such things as personal care, housework, meal preparation, shopping trips and I would be a good companion. I would be happy to assist with planned special events e.g. theatre trips, day trips. I can complete contracts and make risk assessments. I have safe guarding training and I am DBS checked. I have public liability insurance. I look forward to hearing from you.
