About Maritha M.

I have a genuine passion for my work as a carer, as it allows me to connect with people and provide the support they need. My keen perception of others' emotions and moods enables me to adapt quickly to various situations and respond in a helpful and compassionate manner. I am attentive to changes in my clients' health and abilities, which allows me to tailor my approach to meet their specific needs at any given time. I am confident in my ability to care for individuals with a wide range of needs, from providing companionship to offering more advanced support involving mobility equipment and other aids. I firmly believe that the client's preferences and desires should guide their care plan, so I always encourage their involvement in decision-making, even if it requires a bit more time. Promoting independence is a priority for me, and I take pride in helping clients become less reliant on assistance through consistent support, encouragement, and guidance. I am committed to fostering my clients' well-being by advocating for healthy eating, encouraging time outdoors, and promoting light exercise. I believe it's vital for individuals to enjoy their environment and engage with the local community whenever possible. In my spare time, I love shopping, cooking, reading, and spending quality time with friends and family. I enjoy incorporating these activities into my clients' lives as well to enrich their daily experiences. I am available for work and open to travel.

“Maritha has been the best carer we have had to date. She is so kind and caring towards Mum and she thinks of everything. She has made such a big difference to Mums care and we cannot thank her enough. We really hope she can return soon.”

“Maritha has been nothing but wonderful for our father. She is so kind, caring and patient which is exactly what we needed particularly towards the end of our fathers life. We have been so lucky to have her. Hands down the best carer we have had!”
