Elderly Care in West Lindsey

| I have worked in education up until 2 years ago, teaching secondary students. I am fortunate this provided me with a fulfilling vocation for the last 25 years. I am patient, kind, intuitive & caring. After nursing my mum through palliative care in 2020, I felt a need to explore the care profession. In the past, I have visited residential care homes to offer nail care but really it was the companionship that was valued. I assist in my village on a regular basis for the elderly residents that live alone & enjoy spending time with individuals that need to express their life experiences. I own my own car & am currently not working, therefore able to work with flexibility. I have been married 32 years & our daughter no longer lives at home. I love to travel, garden, read & socialise. I take care of my health by partaking in regular 5K runs at the weekends. The above interests allow me to communicate with a broad range of people. I look forward to meeting your loved ones & know how important their care is to you.

| I have my own family and have recently worked for Ageuk on a hospital ward for elderly patients who required company and rehab. I have a nice personality and love interacting with everyone, but especially the older generation as they have so many good stories to tell!. Sorry, I am unable to do personal care. I have 2 dogs and a bearded dragon and used to have many other animals like cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs. Would love to have a sugar glider one day!
