About Yolanda L.
I am a dedicated and professional care provider with a genuine passion for supporting and caring for others. I bring a wealth of experience in maintaining a safe and healthy environment while ensuring that resources are used efficiently and in line with best practice guidelines. I have a proven track record of promoting both physical and personal independence for service users.
Having lived in the United States as an au pair, I moved to the UK in 2004, where I began studying Health and Social Care as well as Access to Nursing. I am also passionate about volunteering and giving back to the community.
