Dementia Care South Cambridgeshire

| I have taken care of an elderly individual with dementia, I assisted them with bed baths, incontinent care and I administered medication under the medical prescriptions. I have vast experience with various ailments such as, Alzheimer, Parkinson and cancer. I also perform light house chores like cleaning.

| 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. NVQ Level 2 Adult Social Care qualified Enhanced DBS with yearly automatic updates.

| I’m Sheri & I’m 34 years old. I moved to Cambridge (CB1) in 2017 from Dagenham in Essex where I was born & lived until I decided to start a new chapter. I currently work for Home Instead Senior Care as a ‘Care Professional’, And have a CLEAN RECENT DBS to hand. I’m on a ‘Bank Contract’ so am looking for more hours with other Clients who may require my help, Which could even result in becoming my new main occupation. I have done a lot of care work for the elderly - this has ranged from clients who just needed a little home help to clients with severe dementia and whom were bed bound. My duties ranged from personal care to domestic care, housework, shopping, cooking, attending appointments with my clients. I have always had a caring nature. I cared for my wife when she was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer, And I continued with her care until she sadly passed away. I am very honest, reliable, flexible, hard working, have a great sense of humour and I am very dedicated to my work. Feel free to message me with any questions :)

| I have experience working with clients living with dementia, mental health diagnosis, various physical disabilities and providing palliative and end of life care.I have had the opportunity to work as a live in carer with a broad spectrum of clients that required care and support in their home. I am happy to make long term commitments in order to maintain continuity for the client as I recognise that, for some people, continual change can be a cause for concern. I am happy to be in an environment where pets are present and willing to take responsibility for their care and welfare. I understand that, on occasion, there will be a necessity for specific training to be undertaken in order to meet the required skill set in order to successfully provide adequate support to clients and I am willing to meet any specific requirements to this end. I am comfortable in the day to day running of a household and willing to undertake duties as might be expected in this role (cooking, cleaning, shopping, light maintenance, etc.). I have a fairly flexible attitude toward meeting other requirements (travel, being delegated other responsibilities, for example). My personal interests lie in wildlife conservation (a committee member of Cambridge and Peterborough Amphibian and Reptile Group) and life long learning (presently trying to gain mastery of a computing programme that can be used to explore data sets). I also enjoy travel and experimenting in the kitchen (with varying degrees of success!).

| I have worked mainly with elderly for nearly 9 years in the community and have had experience in care homes, I also was a field care supervisor for a year. I have my level 2 in health and social care. I’m a caring and compassionate person. I have worked with a variety of people and love the fact everyone is different and has a different story to tell. I’m experienced in dementia care, I have worked with mental health, administration of medication, moving and handling and most importantly person centred care.

As well as caring I could offer gardening, light shopping, prescription collecting etc.
