About Karen M.
I am a compassionate and dedicated carer with 5+ years experience in providing care in the homes of different people with varied needs. In this time I have gained a lot of experience with moving and handling, dealing with people with different conditions and coping strategies for supporting people with challenging behaviour. I am confident I can support anyone that needs assistance.
I pay particular attention to health and safety when preparing meals, administration of medicines and manual handling when required. It is important someone's home is kept safe, tidy and how the person likes it. I take a person centred approach when caring for someone and make sure they feel supported, listened to and are given the opportunity to flourish.
