Mercy S.

I am an empathetic person who is patient, reliable and observant. I respect peoples differences in religion, race and creed. I have good listening skills and I am a bubbly person. I see the importance in getting to know people, knowing what they like and don't and taking their views and beliefs into account to be able to fully support them to live as independently as possible. I encourage clients to complete any tasks they are capable of doing and create a safe environment and empower them to try a new tasks or regain a skill. I think it is vital to take time to work on communicating effectively with my client, both verbally and non verbally, so I can learn their preferred communication styles and communicate effectively with them. I enjoy doing tasks together to build trust, such as preparing meals, going out for walks, shopping and activities in the house. I love to talk with people and learn about their life experiences. I think a massive part of someones personality is what they have experienced so I always make time to learn about a clients background. I am a good cook, with plenty of recipe ideas of my own but I also love to try new recipes. I have experience supporting people with a wide range of conditions and this has taught me to be adaptable and prepared to change plans last minute. I am comfortable supporting a person with all aspects with day to day life, including help with mobility using equipment. l have been received trainings and updates which has helped me to widen my knowledge in care I have gained Qualifications NVQ level 2 in health & social care and a Degree in health promotion and masters in public health. I am not comfortable with pets. I am willing to travel in London, Essex, Northampton, Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire.
