About Dawn A.

I bring several years of dedicated care experience, having worked extensively in various settings, including an acute medical ward where I supported patients with diverse levels of dementia. My approach to caregiving is rooted in compassion, honesty, and empathy, ensuring that I create a supportive and respectful environment for all individuals I assist. I pride myself on being approachable and friendly, qualities that help me connect with clients and their families. Throughout my career, I have gained significant experience in caring for individuals with a wide range of health conditions, including ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, anxiety, Asperger's syndrome, autism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cancer, cerebral palsy, deafness, depression, eating disorders, HIV, insulin-dependent (Type 1) diabetes, learning disabilities, mild cognitive impairment, motor neuron disease, non-insulin-dependent (Type 2) diabetes, orthopedic injuries, osteoporosis, Parkinson's disease, physical disabilities, rheumatoid arthritis, schizophrenia, spinal injuries, strokes, terminal illnesses, traumatic brain injuries, vascular dementia, and visual impairments. I am passionate about continuous learning and have successfully completed my NVQ Level 3 in Community Mental Health Care, further enhancing my ability to provide effective, person-centered support. My goal is to make a positive impact on the lives of those I care for, helping them maintain their dignity and independence while receiving the highest quality of care.
