About Carer

I’m a very bubbly, caring, glass-half-full kind of person who likes to bring this personality into the life of my clients. I have particular experience caring for clients with cancer/end of life, Parkinson’s disease, MND, dementia and mental health issues.

I love to engage with clients, to really get to know them as individuals, to hear their life experiences, and to help them forget their illness just for a little while. I like to provide companionship care and support in whatever way I can help. This can vary greatly – sometimes it’s gardening, cleaning, cooking (I was a cake decorator and baker for many years), lifts to hospital appointments, personal care, shopping, or medication administration. I particularly like to take clients on day trips as I find this helps with their general wellbeing. We’ve been known to go to the seaside for fish and chips, church Christmas plays, cafes for lunch, or a movie at the cinema.

I’m a nature lover and love being outdoors. In my spare time, I’m happy walking my beautiful Cocapoo Buddy. We also love spending time up on our allotments growing vegetables and flowers.

References & Client Feedback

1. "I'm over the moon with the care I have received from Marianne and she has become a friend as well as a carer. I always look forward to her visits and she helps to make my day brighter and better. We always have a laugh and a chat. Marianne is always happy to do everything I ask of her including my personal care and that takes quite a bit of trust, but she makes me feel really comfortable."

2. "Marianne is the most hard working, honest person I have ever come across in my whole working life. I was so sorry to see her leave Grants bakery, we had built it up together to what it is today. She is an exceptional human being and she is well suited to this type of job, from a personal experience when my own mother and father were dying she was such a rock for me at that time. Look after her she’s a one off!"
