About Carer

I’m an experienced carer with over 25 years in the care sector. I’m motivated, caring, happy, understanding and empathetic – qualities that I think are essential for good care work.

I’m easy to talk to and I’m a qualified counsellor, which helps me support clients not just with their physical needs but with their emotions too. I want people to feel safe and comfortable expressing how they’re feeling, whether that’s about their care, their health, or just life in general.

Over my 25 years in care, I’ve worked with people with a wide range of needs and conditions. I’ve learned that good care is about more than just completing tasks – it’s about building trust, listening properly, and treating people with dignity and respect.

I’m happy to provide personal care, companionship, and practical support, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know the people I care for.

References & Client Feedback

1. "Vicky was first recommended to me by my late mother's Social Worker. She came highly recommended as she was in fact caring for his own mother at that time. My mother soon formed a close bond and friendship with Vicky, considering my mother was very wary at first and worried about having someone coming into her home.

Nothing was too much trouble for Vicky. She took on additional duties such as ordering and collecting mum's medication packs, shopping, some cleaning and kept in close contact with myself advising of any issues or developments as my mother's health deteriorated. She liaised with district nurses and attended reviews and meetings alongside myself to make sure she knew exactly how to help my mum with dressings and care requirements. When my mother was hospitalised Vicky visited her on several occasions, taking her little treats and cheering her up.

Vicky was also a great help and support to myself and family as mum's health deteriorated and she eventually passed away in 2023. We have continued our friendship and Vicky and I are frequently in touch."

2. "Vicky is perfect, you won't regret it and you absolutely couldn't find anyone better. I worked with her for 20 years so I'm well placed to give a reference and tell you how good a carer she is."
