Reliable Professional Carer. Empathy and dedication are at the centre of the care I provide.
| I work as a Support worker for adults with learning disabilities. I am inspired by the impact I make in the lives of the people I support. Being able to empower them to live their best lives is what I find most fulfilling as it aligns with my values. I worked previously as a Human Resources Officer before transitioning into social care. These experiences have honed my empathy, communication, record-keeping, multitasking, time-management and organisational skills. This allows me to work effectively with diverse teams and provide personalised care services that best suit the needs of those I support. Please connect with me if you are looking for a reliable and trusted professional carer.

The only Kat your Dog will Absolutely love is Kat! Kat has watched our mini Dachshund Olly for the last two days so we could tour around Edinburgh. Kat sent us photos of Olly enjoying his day, her messages and Ollys joy at seeing her each day made us feel we left our baby in the right caring and loving hands. She is a fantastic communicator and will love your pet likely just like you would. If I lived here she would be my go to pet sitter. If she is available to watch your pet I would grab her. Kat also did a beautiful drawing of Olly that had my wife in tears."
