About Carer

I’m a bubbly, chatty person who lives locally with my partner and three pets. I worked for three years in a care home supporting people with learning difficulties and elderly residents. I’ve been with Sparrow for a year now supporting people in their own homes.

I love helping people and I enjoy providing different kinds of care – companionship, meal prep, help with jobs around the home, personal care like help in the shower, and collecting food shopping.

I’m patient and adaptable, which helps when working with people whose needs change. I believe care isn’t just about the physical tasks – it’s about offering emotional support and companionship too, which can really improve someone’s quality of life.

References & Client Feedback

1. She worked for me as play assistance in a children's soft play centre. Laura proved herself to be a remarkably responsible, very hard working and reliable member of our team. Her attendance and time keeping are outstanding, she is very conscientious and wouldn’t ‘let the team down’. She had very good working relationships with her colleagues, she is able to take their needs into account when making decisions. She has an excellent rapport with people of all ages and her excellent communication skills allowed me to have the utmost confidence in her judgment and maturity when dealing with children and their parents.

In summary, I would highly recommend Laura for any position or endeavour that she may seek to pursue. She will be a valuable asset to your team.

2. Laura worked as a temporary domestic staff member at our GP surgery during COVID restrictions when one of our permanent domestic staff members was required to shield.As you can imagine this was a difficult and challenging time to be working in a GP surgery.

Laura worked very hard and adhered to the ever-changing policies and guidelines. She worked as part of our domestic team and was also able to carry out the role independently during staff annual leave. I found Laura to be very helpful, professional and diligent during her time working at the surgery.
