About Carer

I have a bubbly, outgoing personality and can always find topics to enjoy talking about with others. I feel passionately about dignity and holistic care for clients and their family/support networks, and I always go the extra mile to help with any tasks that benefit them.

I have worked as a Sparrow carer for over 2 years and have had experience of care for young, neurodiverse adults, for may more years + experience of chronic health conditions, pain and mental health issues in adults and children. I also worked on the front line for NHS Direct for 3 years.

I particularly enjoy companionship roles but also like a variety of care tasks including dementia care, assisting with household tasks and helping with practical matters like paperwork, phone calls, organisation and even DIY.

Why we chose this carer

Sam was the very first carer we chose to work with - we immediately noticed how easy to get along with and chatty she was. She's always thinking about little ways to improve life for the people she cares for, and clients have told us how much they value her support.

Areas covered:

Prudhoe, Ovingham, Ovington, Mickley, Clara Vale, Crawcrook, Ryton, Stocksfield, Wylam, Hedley on the Hill, Greenside, Horsley and surrounding areas.

Carer Interests

My main interests are cooking, gardening, walking, theatre, current affairs and listening to music. I'm also an animal and wildlife-lover so I try to spend as much time outdoors as possible.

References & Client Feedback

1. It would be a pleasure to provide some feedback for Samantha, she worked for the business for over a decade and she complimented my business greatly.

Firstly, on a professional basis in her role, Samantha was: Articulate, Considerate, Engaging, Creative, Diligent. On a personal level Samantha is Trustworthy and honest, Caring, Focused on others, Positive, Socially aware, Sensitive to others, Good fun!

I know Samantha had developed relationships with a broad spectrum of people and age ranges, providing help and assistance wherever she could and had previously worked for charities. Samantha is a person of high morals and integrity and a great asset to any organisation for her productivity and her personality and outlook to life and others.

2. I have known Sam for about 20 years and have always found her to be very friendly and approachable. She is gregarious in character, considerate of others & has a caring nature.

We worked together to independently organise cooking demonstrations in people's homes, and also at food fairs & events. Sam was always very hard working, dependable and thorough in organising her own workload. Sam has a love of food and together we have organised catering events for various parties & functions. Working together collaboratively we compiled suitable menus and then prepared, presented & served dishes at several events.

It has always been a pleasure working with Sam and I feel she would be an asset to your organisation.
