About Silethiwe N.

I am a dedicated and passionate carer with over a decade of experience in the healthcare industry. Originally, I worked as a legal secretary and had aspirations to further my education in law. However, after a friend encouraged me to apply for a caregiving position, my career path took a different turn, and I’ve never looked back. I found my true calling in care work, starting in a nursing home, then transitioning to supported living where I worked with young men with learning disabilities. For the past few years, I have been a live-in carer, and I find immense fulfillment in the relationships I build and the care I provide. I have experience supporting individuals with a range of conditions, including Alzheimer's Dementia, Anxiety, Learning Disabilities, Parkinson’s Disease, Stroke, and Vascular Dementia. My approach to care is person-centered, focusing on the unique needs and preferences of each individual. Beyond my professional life, I am passionate about cooking and enjoy preparing delicious meals for my clients. I also care deeply about the environment and have a special love for animals, with elephants being my favorite. For me, caregiving is not just a job—it’s a rewarding and meaningful way to make a positive impact on people's lives.

“Silethiwe is an excellent carer. We found her to be committed, caring, compassionate and with a lovely personality. Silethiwe’s care for mum went beyond our expectations and she always communicated with the family very well. We would highly recommend Silethiwe to any prospective family requiring care for their loved one.”
