About Kathleen A.

I am a highly experienced and professional live-in carer with a successful track record across diverse healthcare environments. I excel in both independent and collaborative settings, working effectively as part of a team or using my own initiative to provide outstanding care. My experience spans multiple care settings, including one-to-one support, care homes, and domiciliary care. I began my career in 1997, working in a residential care home, and later expanded into home care while raising my children. In addition to my caregiving expertise, I hold a background in business management, having studied the subject at university and completed an HND in business and marketing. This varied skill set enhances my ability to approach care with professionalism, organisation, and compassion.

Ok to cook meat and fish

Signature dish:

My signature dish is a classic traditional roast dinner, thoughtfully prepared with perfectly roasted meats, crisp and golden potatoes, a medley of seasonal vegetables, and finished with a rich, flavorful gravy. It's a hearty and comforting meal that brings people together and showcases my love for timeless, home-cooked dishes.

Hobbies

I thoroughly enjoy spending my time walking, which allows me to stay active while appreciating nature and the outdoors. I also have a passion for cooking, as it gives me the chance to experiment with flavors and create delicious meals for myself and others. Additionally, traveling is one of my favorite hobbies, as it allows me to explore new cultures, meet new people, and gain fresh perspectives from different parts of the world.
