About Carer

I’m an easy-going, caring, patient person with a holistic approach to supporting people to live as independently as possible with health, safety and personal preference in mind.

I have over 20 years’ experience in a variety of care roles. I worked in care homes for over 10 years, half of this as a senior carer with elderly residents. I’ve also worked in specialized support for over 10 years, caring for people with a wide variety of health, medical and communication needs in their own homes and enabling them to access the community.

I’m able to offer a flexible service tailored to each client’s needs. This can include companionship, personal and enabling care, medication administration, cooking and help around the house. I enjoy cooking, cleaning and participating in activities with clients.

References & Client Feedback

1. Carl looked after my mother, June, while she was at a Care Home near Hexham, Northumberland. She had a severe stroke in 2005 and needed constant nursing care until she died in 2014. Carl is a very caring, gentle and patient person and my Mum was very fond of him. He was her favourite carer! I have no concerns about Carl at all and I think he would be an asset to Sparrow Self-Employed carers.

2. I worked with Carl in a care setting for a few years. Carl has a very generous, understanding, positive nature. Nothing was ever to much for him. His hands on care was gentle, he is compassionate and thoughtful. I thoroughly recommend Carl Richards as a carer. He truly is a 'salt of the earth' gentle person.
