| Available immediately. Willing to travel. I am a hardworking, honest carer with years of experience at a senior level work with strong interpersonal skills. I have good time management and communication skills. I am also a versatile worker eager to learn new skills. I enjoy working in the caring field, hence why I have dedicated many years being a carer.

While I have no experience in personal care for older people such as bathing/toileting I do like housekeeping, chatting over a cup of tea and generally get along with everyone. I am friends with many of the residents who live in my mother’s retirement-village. I think I would be suited to helping out as more of a companion-housekeeper than a medical needs carer.
