Experienced, professional & articulate carer with a nursing background and excellent references
| I have over 20yrs experience in nursing and community care. I have worked extensively with Parkinson’s, MS, dementia, frail/elderly and LD clients. I usually start with most of my clients as a care companion, building rapport and learning about who they are and what is important to them. This naturally progresses into a more therapeutic/nursing based care model as as a client requires more assistance. I have experience of managing end of life care and liaising with other health care professionals as required. I pride myself on providing an excellent, tailored service. I love the arts, music, cooking and cold water swimming. I am self employed with a current UTR code and currently have hours available.
