Helena K.

I am a motivated and experienced professional with a diverse background in both the public and private sectors of nursing and social care. As a self-employed carer with an enhanced DBS, I have substantial experience working at all levels, including nursing for the NHS and in private healthcare, as well as managing sheltered housing and units within social services residential care homes. I possess outstanding organizational and communication skills, and I am known for my honesty, compassion, hard work, understanding, empathy, sensitivity, and respect. My work brings me into close contact with vulnerable individuals, and I take great joy in supporting them with their daily needs. I have successfully helped many clients improve their quality of life by promoting individuality and maintaining confidentiality at all times. I have experience working with various conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and terminal illness. As a practical, kind, and organized person with a good sense of humor, I enjoy activities such as walking, reading, yoga, and healthy cooking. I have traveled extensively over the years, having lived in Wellington for two years, and I now enjoy occasional short trips abroad. I love visiting art galleries, museums, and the theatre whenever time permits.
