About Simon O.
Simon comes across as a warm, friendly, experienced carer. He spent many years in the music industry initially as a drummer in a band and then in music-associated industries. He became a carer after caring for family members and found that he enjoyed spending time with the elderly and trying to help them.
He has worked as a professional live-in carer since Spring 2021 and has experience caring for clients with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, clients with mobility issues, clients at risk of falls and clients who are incontinent. He likes to discover his client's likes and dislikes to ensure they are as settled as possible. He had cared for couples as well as single clients. Simon enjoys cooking and cooks whatever his clients like. He also loves animals and is happy to assist with his clients’ pets.
