DT6 5JE 2183 I enjoy taking care of people/homes/pets and plants and find it very rewarding. I am very calming and friendly and a holistic therapist part time. My experience started out as a live-in carer for a spinal injury care company. I also worked for a care agency, where I cared for a girl with disabilities, there was always 2 carers in this role and we took her to school, administered medication and checked blood and ketone levels. Within this agency, I covered many different care homes and agencies across Bristol. I also supported 2 ladies privately, both had a spinal injury, where I supported with personal care, using a catheter, cooking and a lot of driving. I like driving and I am a very careful driver, I can drive an automatic and a manual car. My preference is home care as I love seeing people so relaxed in their own home. I am also a complementary therapist, so naturally, I am a gentle caring person. I love working with all ages, but particularly fond of the elderly. I used to go into a few care homes in Bristol and offer mini treatments, this is at a dementia home and one of my friends who is like a grandma had dementia. I am a fantastic listener too! I am now back living in Dorset and looking forward to caring for people that need support in this area. I would prefer a minimum of 2 hours + per visit. 2 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":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":true,"field_care_type_fifth":"1","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":true,"field_care_type_sixth":"1","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":false,"field_care_type_seven":""}

I now specialize in live in care and assist with all aspects of daily living, including cooking, housekeeping, errands, whatever is necessary to enable your loved ones to remain in their own homes, where they are respected and treated with the dignity they deserve.

I specifically work from November to June, offering both short term respite cover, as well as longer assignments, (2-4 weeks). As well as possessing all the necessary qualities of a good carer, i. e. compassion, professionalism, reliability, hardworking and flexible, I have loads of patience and energy.

My rates for Bank Holidays are time and half. Other days usual rate. I may also have capacity for work over Xmas and Nee Year. . Please do look at my client references for validation of my work ethic. OFFERING RESPITE WORK rather than long term placement for foreseeable. I have 35 yrs plus experience in caring for people with different needs, in a variety of settings. I am looking for respite care opportunities covering carers breaks or extra care support needed as a transition from hospital back home. I also enjoy supporting people who need some support to live an independent, full and rich life. Also available for palliative care support. I have had previous experience in this area and appreciate the need for patience, calmness, kindness and flexibility. My primary aim has been to support people to remain living as comfortably and independently as possible at home, to enjoy life despite of challenges and ensuring the family members are also listened to and feel equally supported in collaboratively caring for their loved ones. I worked for a company that works with service users with Parkinson's for 5 yrs and I trained carers in understanding the particular needs of those living with this condition . I have supported people with dementia, anxiety and mental health issues, strokes, learning and physical disabilities, end of life and much more. For the past 7yrs I have been a self-employed carer working in the community. All my work has arrived through personal recommendations. Recently a client said of me " you are irreplaceable, there is only one Helen!" My care is of the highest standard and tailored to your needs. I am happy to arrange a meeting with you to discuss this in person before agreeing any shifts should that be of help? Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. Any questions you have please feel free to contact me and we can explore options together. {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"0","field_care_type_first":null,"field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"0","field_care_type_second":null,"field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"0","field_care_type_third":null,"field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"0","field_care_type_fourth":null,"field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"0","field_care_type_fifth":null,"field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"0","field_care_type_sixth":null,"field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"0","field_care_type_seven":null}

EX13 5QW 97918 Having worked for the NHS Rapid Response team, and Seaton auxillery Bank nurse. Moving up and down the country working at various nursing and residential care homes. ( as a forces wife) in auxiliary supporting roles and and working for Seaton enablement enabling patients to stay within there own homes teaching life and living skills. i have been a level 3 HCA support worker within the NHS. I have been in care for 38 years. I enjoy working independently and taking responsibility, and am very confident. I look forward to overnight stays with continuity for both the client and I. Clients like continuity and feel confident with the same carer visiting. This is particularly important for dementia clients, building confidence and trust is important to me for patients. Covid vaccines are up to date, to put your mind at rest. jobs within the home I enjoy are as follows: cleaning, ironing, and washing if that is required through the night, Reading to the patient, and looking at and discussing photographs of vintage memories. I have hands-on experience with Stoma Care, Hoisting both with ceiling track and manual. Glide sheets, manual handling, repositioning, peg feeding, and pressure care experiences. Weekend work is no problem as I prefer weekends, am able to carry out overnight live in for Saturdays til Monday morning if needed, but I have no live in availability throughout the week. At 60 I finished a degree in Animal Sciences, and Animal Welfare and Management. I enjoy the company, caring and helping rescue, fundraising for good welfare of companion animals abroad. I have worked for Cats Protection with rehoming and home checks, along with animal welfare checking. I have a happy disposition, work out at the gym as a hobby, enjoy long walks with my own foreign rescue dogs. Have visited numerous foreign destinations. Have a positive outlook. Nothing really phases me with nursing and care and keep up with modern technology and medications. I give 100% to my patients and can bring new ideas to family with nursing technics, only if asked for. Over the years I have worked with Dementia although this is demanding keeping calm, defusing situations Is usually the best way, every situation is different, every person individual. There are some very unfair diseases out there, and each one of us is left to cope with what we are given. Anyway, if I can help just for a chat, no pressure just a chat we can face time...... well, have just finished after 24 months of looking after a Dementia pt one can't believe just how much a part of your life they have become, you do miss your patients dearly you can enliken it to losing a part of you. This is just a glimps of how much your job means to you and stays in your hart..... 2 1 {"field_week_day_first":1,"field_is_available_first":"1","field_care_type_first":"4, 5","field_week_day_second":2,"field_is_available_second":"1","field_care_type_second":"4, 5","field_week_day_third":3,"field_is_available_third":"1","field_care_type_third":"4, 5","field_week_day_fourth":4,"field_is_available_fourth":"1","field_care_type_fourth":"4, 5","field_week_day_fifth":5,"field_is_available_fifth":"1","field_care_type_fifth":"4, 5","field_week_day_sixth":6,"field_is_available_six":"1","field_care_type_sixth":"4, 5","field_week_day_seven":7,"field_is_available_seven":"1","field_care_type_seven":"4, 5"}

EX14 1XG 15907 I have been a caregiver for seven years, five and half years working in community care helping people with early and intermediate stage dementia. I have also worked in a residential care home for for two years which has given me experience in more advanced dementia as well. I work only with the elderly and love giving them companionship, taking them out and making their lonely days more enjoyable. I help with all the basic light household duties and personal care where necessary, I have a carer certificate and L2 & L3 equivalent to NVQ’s in Dementia care. Dementia is a devastating diagnosis for any family to receive and I specialise in this area. I am happy to do respite for a few hours in a day if family carer needs a respite so they can have that much needed break to relax or go shopping. I am happy to work with pets in the household and travel within a radius of about 10 miles. I am also fully computer literate if needed. Non smoker to work in smoke free homes only and no evenings or nights. I concentrate on the areas of Sidmouth, Honiton and cullompton post codes. 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":""}
