About Carer

I’m a mature, married woman and mum with a wealth of life and work experience. I started my career as a nurse, then continued in the medical field, branching into sales, marketing and product management. I’ve also retrained as a teacher, working in private nurseries, and have always been involved in voluntary work overseas.

For the last four years, since returning to live in the UK, I’ve been enjoying my work as a private carer. After years in various professional roles, I’ve found real satisfaction in providing direct, personal care to people in their own homes.

My nursing background means I’m comfortable with all aspects of personal care, and my varied career has given me strong communication and organizational skills. I provide personal hygiene care, companionship, support and transport for hospital appointments, shopping, meal preparation, and light housework.

I enjoy building meaningful relationships with the people I care for and tailoring my support to each person’s individual needs.
