About Carer

I have a desire to help people and I am sensitive and understanding. I enjoy assisting people that would benefit from some additional support to continue living independently at home. This can include cooking, bathing, help with dressing. I have a car so can help with trips for shopping or days out. I have been involved in caring for two years and also looked after both my parents and grandmother.

I live in Duns and offers personalised care in the Scottish Borders, East Lothian, Berwickshire and Northern Northumberland, including Berwick-upon-Tweed, Coldstream, Wooler & nearby areas. I have a wide range of relevant experience including working with people needing personal care and previously helping people to deal with a build up of possessions in their homes. I offers a range of care services tailored to your family’s needs including personal care, household help companionship and whatever support you might need. Feel free to get in touch if I can help.

1. Mike was a practitioner offering therapeutic and practical help to people struggling to let go of belongings.
