Competent and experienced health care worker. Good communication skills and interpersonal skills
| I am a kind, hardworking and a good communicator. I enjoy working closely with others. I have more the 10 years of experience as a carer. I work hard to get to know my clients so I can help them enjoy their interest and hobbies and also gain independence. "I have worked in end of life care for many years, helping to make clients comfortable at home as a live in carer. I work well with other palliative care team members, such as doctors, and also with supporting family members with respite car ". I became a carer while looking after my dad when I was 19. When he died, I decided to carry on working as a live in carer for a client who had stroke while raising money to study nursing which had already been my passion. I finally became a nurse and I gained 3 years of experience working as a senior nurse . After my 3 years of working as a nurse I moved to the UK where I have been taking care of a client called Fiona Naele with many different conditions as a live in Carer. I am very comfortable with pets. " am a good cook! It's a big part of my life and I love trying out new recipes. I can bake well and once won a competition for my pineapple turnover . Get in touch, l'd love to hear from you.
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."

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.
