DH7 6DW 276682 Hello I’m Nadia, I’ve worked in care for over 5 years. I was based in a care home where I worked around many different types of conditions a couple of them being dementia & Parkinson’s disease. I also care for my dad who has a brain condition so I have experience in that field too. Over the years I have helped with personal care and providing a safe environment for clients. I love spending time with others and helping them have a better day by carrying out any care needs they may require. I also drive and I’m happy to help with any transportation or days out to help clients have fun filled days with social interaction. 1 2 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":false,"field_care_type_second":"","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":false,"field_care_type_third":"","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":false,"field_care_type_fourth":"","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

DL16 6HQ 26088 I have many years of care in domiciliary and live in. I have always had a passion to care of the elderly, as my grandmother had a care home when I was a young girl. I also took care of my grandmother for many years so feel I have the patience and natural love for them. It is very rewarding when you see how clients react towards you when you get to know them and when you can see they are happy and content in your presence. It's important to get on with your client and to make it a happy place at all times so that your client can feel relaxed and feel safe at all times. Communication is also very important. I have completed E learning and my care certificate, have a full drivers licence. I currently work in a care home but feel my strong points are working one on one with a client either doing waking nights or sleep overs. I have also done live in care for one of my clients 15 miles from my own home. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":true,"field_care_type_first":"1","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":true,"field_care_type_second":"1","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":true,"field_care_type_third":"1","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":true,"field_care_type_fourth":"1","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

DL14 6FH 51319 In my younger years, I was an education welfare officer for the local authority. I took voluntary redundancy after 20 years and started running my own business, as well as volunteering as an art therapist at Teesside Hospice. I then went to Australia for 5 years, where I helped a friend with Quadriplegia achieve his objectives and travel around Europe. I came back to the UK in April 2021 and took up a position as a live-in carer in Wiltshire for 18months. After this I became a Personal Assistant and carer for a paraplegic gentleman in Northampton. I'm trained in manual evacuation, sterile changing of dressings, care of suprapubic and lifting and handling. I would now prefer to work within a couple of hours' drive from home in Durham or York. Any client will find me friendly, reliable, honest, and caring. My aim is to care for a person in the same way I would like to be cared for when it's my turn. I have a holistic approach to my work. I can cook meals from around the world but also very happy and able to turn out simple tasty British cuisine. I have my own car and a clean driving licence. My enhanced DBS is up to date, too. My previous clients and their families would be happy to provide references, as would my previous employers. I'm very happy to be considered for emergency relief work if needed. 1 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":false,"field_care_type_second":"","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":false,"field_care_type_third":"","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":false,"field_care_type_fourth":"","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

SR2 0AW 233278 I have always been a person who has the interests of clients at heart. I look after them to the best of my ability and I am a team player and person who can adapt to any situation. I am a hard-working person; this is demonstrated by my choice to work in a voluntary capacity within my community, which is largely dominated by people from different cultural and social backgrounds. This shows that l have efficiency and effective working knowledge and general understanding of ethical, social, cultural and global awareness on issues that affects people in their communities. I am also a competent communicator as l can tailor communication to different levels, for example, working with the elderly requires good speaking and listening skills. My transferable knowledge of legality learned from my studies has underpinned my professional development around Data Protection and policies of equality, diversity and inclusion. My self-awareness and reflection direct me in a good direction within the organisation. In my former and current roles as well as in my studies, I have shown commitment to working in teams as well as working independently depending on the nature of the task to be completed and l can be trusted to complete tasks supervised or unsupervised. My current role demands the highest degree of time keeping, planning and using own initiative. I can work under pressure as I am aware of the requirement to prioritise plans and tasks and I also have a proven track record as an effective support worker. I have many transferable skills such as organising, negotiating, making decisions, problem solving, problem solving, and I am competent in the area of health and social care industry. I am willing to undertake any training that is necessary for my roles or future roles that would help me in my professional development. {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":false,"field_care_type_first":"","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":false,"field_care_type_second":"","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":false,"field_care_type_third":"","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":false,"field_care_type_fourth":"","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":false,"field_care_type_fifth":"","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":false,"field_care_type_sixth":"","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}
