I have extensive experience in healthcare, primarily in hospital settings, where I worked as a Health Care Assistant within the NHS. During this time, I cared for patients from diverse cultural backgrounds, managing a wide range of conditions such as dementia, Alzheimer's disease, COPD, diabetes, palliative care, liver disease, heart disease, cancer, stroke, Parkinson's disease, asthma, hypertension, coeliac disease, and more. I also provided one-on-one care for patients with specific needs, ensuring they received personalized and compassionate support.
Working in the fast-paced environment of a hospital allowed me to develop a wealth of experience and skills while supporting individuals during some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. I found immense satisfaction in providing comfort and reassurance to patients, using my interpersonal skills to communicate effectively, build trust, and foster strong relationships, all while maintaining the highest levels of professionalism.
I am now eager to take my career in a new direction, focusing on live-in care—a field I am deeply passionate about. Drawing on my extensive background, I aim to provide high-quality, tailored care that meets the unique needs of each individual. I will collaborate with medical teams and other professionals to adapt care plans as conditions evolve, ensuring the best outcomes for those I support.
What excites me most about live-in care is the opportunity to dedicate my full attention to one person, offering holistic support that encompasses personal care routines, meal planning and preparation, household management, social engagement, and community involvement. My goal is to help my clients navigate daily life with dignity, comfort, and a sense of independence, while being a consistent and compassionate presence in their lives.
