| My name is katrina and i have spent nearly 12 years in care! I worked with a young man with spinal muscular atrophy for 10 years before he sadly passed away nearly 2 years ago, I worked in his own home so I became very close to his family and I know how to be discreet, respectful and treated him with dignity. Mh role was to help him live life to the max including personal care, feeding and outings to anywhere he wanted to go. I loved my job with him especially doing one to one. I now work in a care home that has 45 residents and I've made my way upto senior in the short amount of time I've been there! I deal with alot of residents that have dementia and a couple that have parkinsons. I'm fun and outgoing but I know when someone needs me to be calm and at all times I'm respectful to the person I'm caring for and dignity is a must at all times. I'd be glad to answer any questions from anyone and I hope to hear from you soon.
