About Gloria V.
I am an experienced care professional and have worked in various settings from home care, hospital's and residential care homes. I have vast knowledge as a carer and enjoy providing my clients with person centred care. I like to adapt to each client and understand their needs, provide companionship and ensure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. My career in care began 30 years ago and I was motivated by the desire to make a difference and help others. I am patient with good attention to detail and a good listener. In my free time I like to read, travel and I love to cook.
