About Fiona H.
Fiona is well presented, intelligent, personable and warm. Originally from South Africa she holds a British passport, she emigrated to the UK in 2021 and has been working as a live-in carer since. Her background is in Civil Engineering but she became a live-in carer after caring for a family member for 2 years and found she had an affinity for it. She has a range of experience including stroke care, rehabilitation after an operation, clients with poor mobility, diabetes and assisting with catheter and stoma care. Fiona loves her role as a carer, she finds it rewarding to enable her clients to live as independently as possible in their own homes, providing the support and encouragement that they require.
Fiona is an animal lover and is happy to assist with pet care. She enjoys cooking nutritious meals, planning
the weekly menu in discussion with the client according to their tastes.
