About Heather P.

I am a warm, personable, and friendly carer with extensive experience in various healthcare settings. I began my career in care in 1993, working in care homes, domiciliary care, and hospitals before transitioning to live-in care in 2012. Throughout my career, I have supported clients with a range of health conditions, including advanced dementia, Parkinson’s, diabetes, limited mobility, stroke care, and palliative care. I also have experience with specialist equipment, such as stoma and catheter care, hoists, and oxygen therapy. I find it incredibly rewarding to help people lead as full a life as possible, providing both physical care and emotional support. Companionship and empathy are key aspects of the care I provide, and I take great pride in ensuring a high standard of care at all times. Working in care brings me fulfillment and happiness, knowing that I can make a positive difference in someone’s life. I love to cook and enjoy preparing healthy meals tailored to my clients’ preferences. As an animal lover, I am also more than happy to assist with the care of my clients’ pets.
