About Carer

I’m an outgoing, sociable person. I was a high school teacher for many years and loved building relationships with my students – this is why I’ve found caring to be such a satisfying second career. I really love being self-employed and having time to spend with my clients. Many have led such interesting lives!

My Dad needed regular care for many years and it gave me a real insight into the other side of the relationship – understanding what families go through and what good care looks like.

I’m happy to provide household help, welfare checks, trips out, transport to appointments, medication support, meal preparation, and companionship. I’m a practical person and can turn my hands to most things.

My teaching background means I’m patient, organized, and good at communicating. I enjoy getting to know people properly and supporting them to maintain their independence at home.

References & Client Feedback

1. I'm over the moon with the care I have received from Selena 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 .Selena 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. My sister and I are delighted with the care our Dad has received from Selena. She has formed a lovely relationship with Dad having good chats with him. She has also been so proactive when he hasn’t been feeling great and when there have been house related issues. Selena always keeps in touch with us whether dad is ok or not, and comes up with suggestions as to how we can make things more comfortable for him. All in all I would highly recommend Selena as a carer.

3. I wholeheartedly recommend Selena for a position as a carer. Her exceptional teaching experience, combined with her transferable skills, make her an ideal candidate for this role. I am confident that Selena will provide compassionate, high-quality care and make a positive impact on the lives of those she supports.

4. Selena has worked part time for us a cleaner since Nov 2021 and in this time she has become a valued member of our team. Selena works well under her own supervision and as a team, she is organised and time sensitive, reliable, flexible if additional shift arrives last minute and helpful. She is also a firm but fair person. I believe this work will be well suited to her and wish her every luck with her application
