About Gertrude M.

I am an experienced Live in Carer with a strong passion for care and nursing, having spent over 2 decades of working within multidisciplinary teams to support vulnerable individuals. My work has focused on aiding those at risk of exploitation, mental health challenges, and individuals with complex health conditions such as Learning Disabilities, Spinal Injuries, Traumatic Brain Injuries, Dementia, Vascular Dementia, Stroke, and Parkinson's disease. I have gained invaluable experience through both charity work and private sector roles, consistently providing compassionate, client-centered care. I pride myself on being a collaborative team player with excellent communication and time-management skills. Known for my efficient and adaptable approach, I excel in high-pressure environments where the well-being of individuals is paramount. My commitment, reliability, and compassionate nature have always guided my work, and I am eager to contribute my skills in a meaningful way.
