About Helena A.
I bring extensive experience as a live-in caregiver, providing compassionate support to a diverse range of clients. My expertise includes working with individuals facing dementia, immobility, spinal injuries, depression, and end-of-life care. I hold a care certificate and am currently completing my NVQ Level 3 in Health & Social Care.
As a dedicated and well-trained caregiver, my passion for caring for both children and older adults drives my work. I approach each situation with patience, empathy, and a willingness to listen, ensuring that my clients feel valued and understood. Additionally, I enjoy cooking and take pride in preparing nutritious meals.
