Jeanette cared for my Mum over the last year of her life and her conscientiousness and concern for Mum’s happiness and wellbeing made a great difference to her quality of life over this time. She developed a strong personal bond with Mum, who was always glad to see her. Jeanette has a genuine love for her work as a carer and is trustworthy, diligent, reliable and very knowledgeable and experienced in what she does. Her cleaning is immaculate and she organises the care environment excellently. I can thoroughly recommend Jeanette to anyone who needs to know that their loved one is in good hands."

Carer, Companionship - full time - Leicester LE2
| I have looked after the service user in their own homes providing personal care, which included getting them up, showering them, assisting with dressing and making breakfast. I also did evening calls assisting them to get ready for bed. I did companionship for care users when their family needed time away and we used to play games, watch TV, prepare light meals, washing, cleaning and any other duties that was required in the care plan. I really enjoyed working as a carer as it gave me so much satisfaction that I can care for someone and give them my full caring service. I enjoy talking to them and making them relaxed and comfortable at all times, it is such a rewarding job and gives me so much passion looking after them as I am such a caring person. I feel that one day we will get old and someone will be looking after us in the same way as we look after them.

Sharon has provided care for me on a number of occasions and she has been brilliant. Very caring, patient and understanding. She is conscientious and frequently checks I am ok. I am paraplegic with multiple health problems. Sharon has helped me with transfers, moving about in my wheelchair, positioning in bed, checking for bed sores, transfers using a hoist and with medication. She is hard working and when I am not in need of personal support or care she does light housework without even being asked to do it. She is very conscientious about washing her hands and keeping areas clean as well as tidy. This is important to me because I am immunocompromised. She is very polite and kind and cheerful and good with animals! She has helped to take care of the 6 cats, lizard and axolotl in my house and nothing is ever too much trouble for her. I feel very lucky to have had Sharon's help as a carer and I have no hesitation in recommending her to others."

Companionship to erderly.
| I am Elsa,. My language is Spanish, I study English (intermediate level). I worked for many years in Companies (in Ecuador South America) in different positions, but the one I enjoyed the most was working in the Occupational Health and Safety area, because I discovered my greatest strength as solidarity and service to people. I also have a master's degree in Occupational Safety and Health and a degree as Economist and therapist in natural therapies. I am very enthusiastic and active, I enjoy doing different things every day (walking, cooking, talking, doing crafts, recycling projects, makeover (interior design). So, I am aware if we stay active we can feel more productive. That is why I seek to reactivate self-confidence in older adults with these activities in order to improve their physical, social and psychological capacities as well as optimize their healthy lifestyles, helping to prevent risks or reduce disease problems. I will very happy if you are happy with me as well. Contact to me. Please.
