About Carer

Before joining Sparrow, I had a long career in Financial Services. Alongside that, I helped care for my dad who suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease.

I initially became involved with Sparrow as a client when looking for additional care support for my dad. I loved the idea of Sparrow, and the carers they put me in touch with provided excellent care for him. Seeing that quality of support first-hand inspired me to become a carer myself.

Joining Sparrow as a self-employed carer was the best decision I’ve ever made – it’s the most rewarding job I’ve had. My personal experience caring for my dad means I understand what families go through, and I particularly enjoy providing care for people with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

I’m a farmer’s daughter who loves the countryside and being outdoors. I bring patience, understanding, and genuine compassion to my work, and I’m committed to helping people maintain their independence and dignity at home.

References & Client Feedback

1. "You have been a breath of fresh air and an invaluable source of advice and expertise. This isn't goodbye, just thanks. What would I have done without your support, common sense and know how? We'll keep in touch."

2. "I've known Jane for over 10 years, both as a neighbour and friend. I can say with certainty that she is one of the most caring people that I have met. I have seen her interacting with problem children (we are foster carers) and elderly people. She always has a calm manner and acts with care and attention. I have no doubt that she would be a wonderful addition to your caregiver network."

3. "I have known Jane for about 15 years now and live opposite her parents. Jane is a regular visitor to her elderly parents and is a huge help to her dad now in his 90’s and in poor health, she has stepped up and provided massive support, showering her dad, cleaning and being a regular visitor to her parents. I lost both my elderly parents in the last 4 years and I understand the pressures that caring for the elderly brings and I can say that Jane has been a great support to her mam and dad. As a retired police officer I am fully aware of safeguarding issues with vulnerable adults and would have no hesitation in recommending Jane for any role where she supported the elderly. I know Jane is considering cutting short her own working career to support her family which speaks volumes to her personal values."
