About Diane B.

I began my professional journey in roles such as Receptionist, Secretary, and Underwriting Claims Advisor, gaining valuable skills during my years in the insurance industry. In 2019, I transitioned to a career in caregiving, which has proven to be incredibly rewarding. I have extensive experience caring for the elderly, providing companionship and support to individuals with various physical and mental health disabilities, including Alzheimer’s, dementia, anxiety, mild cognitive impairment, stroke, vascular dementia, and visual impairment. My duties have encompassed housekeeping, personal care, cooking, shopping, and assisting clients with transportation to medical appointments via taxi or driving when vehicles are available. Additionally, I have experience caring for pets, ensuring a holistic approach to my clients' well-being.

“Diane is a good companion and an excellent driver. She is very calm behind a steering wheel and never exceeds the speed limit. Mum always feels comfortable in the car with her. She is also helpful when it comes to stacking Mum's rollator and wheelchair in the boot. She is great at taking Mum out and about whether it is to the shops or to a restaurant or for a coffee and a piece of cake. She answers the telephone promptly and deals with any medical problems Mum has, quickly and efficiently. She is very caring, gentle and kind and shows great interest in Mum's family! She helps Mum with jigsaw puzzles and plays a reasonable game of Scrabble. Diane is attentive and anticipates Mum's needs well. She treats Mum as she would her own Mum.”

Hobbies

I have a deep passion for being around animals, especially cats. I enjoy listening to music and dancing, which brings joy to my life. I’m also an avid nature enthusiast, appreciating wildlife and spending time outdoors. In my leisure time, I dabble in gardening and enjoy playing Scrabble and snooker. I cherish moments spent with friends and family, as they bring warmth and fulfillment to my life.
