Elderly Care in North Dorset

| I’ve 25 plus years experience in the care industry, I specialise in dementia care however that doesn’t mean I’m not open to all types of care. When I’m not working I’ve interests in the arts, theatre, cinema, I enjoy traveling and going on new adventures.

| I care deeply for the elderly as I have witnessed much of their suffering and the blight of the diseases they have to endure. It comes naturally to me to care for them the best way that I can. I find it hugely rewarding to attend to the elderly in particular because I feel that they are so very often undervalued and forgotten about. I find interactions with the elderly heart-warming and fascinating and relish all that I can learn from them in their wisdom. I've gained much experience over the last 16 years and feel well equipped to take care of the elderly within a nursing home environment as well as within the community.

| I am an empathetic, patient and creative companion who loves to contribute gentle positivity to the lives of the elderly. Whether your relative needs stimulating activities to engage in; a quiet friend to reminisce with, a companion to attend a regular or one-off club or suchlike; or simply to know someone is there with them, I am your lady. Please feel free to make contact: I know it is crucial to know your relative is in good hands, so don't be afraid to be specific as to the requirements of the position. *I have an enhanced DBS certificate. NB. Covid: I live rurally, shop online and keep my distance from others at all times. I have had Covid and my body has built antibodies against it. Genetically, I am too vulnerable for the vaccine. However, I have very stringent habits in place to best protect myself clients and myself, as well as testing x3 per week. Please do not contact me if your requirement is for a vaccinated carer.
