Companion Care South Cambridgeshire

| I am returning to care work after a long stint in the aviation industry as Cabin Crew. As a result I am fully trained in first aid as well as being DBS checked. I live in central Cambridge so can be on hand with short notice. I am friendly, approachable and compassionate. The services I can offer are all types of housework, including preparing meals ( I have a food hygiene qualification as I have catering experience). I am happy to shop alone or with the individual being cared for. I can offer support by providing not just a service, but companionship and friendly chat. My experience to date involved working for a disabled student prior to working for the airline and more recently helping my elderly neighbour with a range of practical tasks. I also cared for my late Grandmother with cleaning, shopping and regular companionship.

| Over 7 years experience of caring for elderly clients both male and female. Including companionship visits, personal care and family support. Most of my previous clients required care and support with their various stages of Dementia (Alzheimer's disease, Vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia) and Parkinson's disease. I also have experience with palliative and end of life care. I take my role as a carer very seriously but I do have a sense of humour which I find helps bond with clients. I try and see things from their world and not mine . I value and respect Person Centred Care and this is the way I work.
