About Carer

I’m a caring, thoughtful person who’s ready to help – with a listening ear and a friendly, chatty nature. A friend recommended Sparrow to me because of the positive support they offer to carers, and I was looking for work that fits around my family commitments.

I came to care work through looking after my own mum for 10 years and my aunt for 4 years. That experience taught me what really matters when someone needs support – patience, kindness, and treating people with dignity.

I’ve been caring with Sparrow since June 2024, and I love building relationships with the people I work with. Families have described me as honest, hardworking, and always cheerful. I’m reliably punctual and believe good communication is essential – keeping families informed and making sure everyone knows what’s happening.

Whether it’s personal care, companionship, or practical help around the home, I’m here to provide calm, capable support tailored to your family’s needs.

References & Client Feedback

1. I have known Diane for many years and can confirm that throughout I have always found her scrupulously honest, hard working and always cheerful. Diane is reliably punctual and an excellent communicator that we would hate to lose.

2. Diane has been a wonderful weekly attender at my house for over 20 years. She came to us when my wife, with Parkinsons Disease, was struggling to manage the household chores and has continued to look after the house for me after my wife died.

She is not only efficient, but I class her as a very good friend to me and I have absolute trust in her. She has a friendly attitude and we have a lot of laughs together. I think that she would be capable of undertaking any challenge with speed and efficiency and I have no qualms about recommending her for any post.
