About Carer

I’m an enthusiastic, friendly person who loves to chat and spend time with other people. I have three grown-up boys (the youngest now 18), a lurcher, and many interests including a Masters in Medieval History and Classics. I love nature, walking, wild swimming in the local rivers, baking, cooking for friends, and I sing in an acapella group.

I’ve been a qualified nurse since 1990 and have worked in a variety of nursing settings. At present I work as a Community Staff Nurse in the local area and also have diplomas in Counselling and Holistic Massage.

I’m happy to provide any aspect of personal care or support, and my aim is that my care can support people to live their best lives, despite being affected by ill health or older age. I’m very happy to do sleepovers and blocks of respite care to suit each client. At present I enjoy supporting four local clients.
