Elderly Care in Hertsmere

| I have nine years experience in elderly care, working in my first care home at the age of sixteen. I have qualifications in health and social care, level 3,4 and 5. I drive, I’m flexible and I have a passion for helping and supporting people in their own homes. English speaking. Majority of my experience is with clients who have dementia. There’s not much I won’t do for someone I care for- I am always happy to help! I can do anything from personal care to cleaning, ironing and even mind stimulation games (which my past elderly clients have taught me). I currently working 9-5 flexible hours Monday to Friday. I am looking for extra evening work/early morning work. I’m sociable, caring and my strive in life is to help people and help keep them safe in their own home. Able to provide references from my previous clients family’s. I understand the pressures family go through and I would like to take that away from them/help as much as possible.
