Olivia L.

I have dedicated my career to caregiving since 1995, and I find it to be the most fulfilling and rewarding profession. My journey began in Ghana, where I cared for my father, and upon returning to London, I felt a calling to extend my support to others in need. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience working in both residential homes and private households, allowing me to develop a people-centered approach that emphasizes listening to clients and attending to their unique needs. As a conscientious and reliable caregiver, I pride myself on being an effective team player who can adapt to the diverse requirements of my role. My commitment to professional growth has led me to pursue various training and qualifications, enhancing my ability to provide exceptional care. I have worked with individuals experiencing a range of conditions, including Alzheimer’s, dementia, stroke, and palliative care. My expertise includes assisting with hospital appointments, managing insulin and blood pressure checks, personal care, stoma care, hoisting, transferring, and dental care. Additionally, I am skilled in all aspects of daily living, including housekeeping, meal preparation, medication administration, and community support. Caregiving has never been just a job for me; I genuinely enjoy connecting with individuals on a personal level. I thrive in one-on-one interactions where I can build trusting relationships, provide unwavering support, and make a positive impact on their lives. I believe that fostering these relationships is not only beneficial for my clients but also for their families, which is why I prefer to work in private care settings. In my role, I understand the importance of effective communication and always strive to connect with those I care for. I take my responsibilities seriously while also ensuring that I bring a smile and a sense of humor to each interaction. Outside of my caregiving duties, I enjoy reading, cooking, and meeting new people. I am available for live-in care placements and am eager to bring my compassionate approach to your home.
