About Carer

I have lived in the North Tyne area since 2008 and love living here. I’m originally from Tynemouth and also lived in the Midlands for many years. I have grown-up children and a young grandson.

I have a long background in nursing, starting my training in the 1980s. I currently work part-time as a community nurse and during this role I’ve seen how crucial a good carer is in supporting patients and families to continue living at home.

I offer support to clients in the North Tyne area who need some additional help. I can help with a wide variety of types of care, whether it’s enabling support, social support or help at home. My main aim in everything I do is to offer the support of an experienced caregiver so that people can achieve optimum independence and remain safely at home. I’m happy to support clients in the more rural areas of the North Tyne.

References & Client Feedback

1. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gill as a carer. Prior to my retirement, I was Gill's line manager as a Community Matron. Gill was very capable and caring nurse who could be relied upon to deliver excellent nursing care unsupervised. Gill was popular with her colleagues and patients alike. If you are looking for someone to look after your ageing relatives you can depend on Gill. She is always prepared to go the extra mile.

2. I've known Gill for 10+years as district nurse team lead line manager and then community matron. Gill is extremely trustworthy and reliable. She is very kind and compassionate and delivers excellent care. She could be fully relied upon to be a fantastic independent carer. Gill always goes over and above to ensure she meets the needs of a patient. No concerns at all she would be an excellent addition to any team.
