About Mercy M.
Before transitioning into care, I worked as a personal assistant in the construction industry. In 2001, I began my career in the care sector as a domiciliary carer, and in 2004, I graduated from university and progressed into nursing. I am a compassionate individual, deeply committed to building meaningful connections and trust with those I support. With a solid understanding of safeguarding principles, I prioritize the well-being of every individual in my care. I am passionate about inspiring positive behavioral change, promoting healthy lifestyles, and empowering people to develop their skills. Additionally, I am highly skilled in effective risk management, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for growth and development.
