About Erica A.

My name is Erica, and I have experience working with elderly individuals, particularly those with dementia, as well as people with learning difficulties. I always take the time to consider each person’s unique needs, wishes, and preferences in order to provide the best care possible. With an inquisitive mind and a compassionate, empathetic nature, I ensure that the well-being of those I care for is always my top priority. I am deeply committed to my work and take great pride in creating a positive, supportive environment for my clients. I have a jovial, friendly, and courteous personality, which helps me build strong, trusting relationships with those I care for. I started my career as a chef and transitioned into the care field in 2005, when I began working as a support worker. This shift allowed me to combine my passion for helping others with my dedication to providing high-quality care.

“Erica has been an absolute superstar! She has been instrumental in keeping Kate active and engaged, from exercises to cooking and shopping. It's wonderful to see Kate staying busy and stimulated, thanks to Erica's attentive and thoughtful care. Erica's dedication truly shines through, as seen in the great videos she shares of Kate’s activities. Her positive impact on Kate’s wellbeing has been remarkable. We’re so grateful to have her as part of the team”
