About Irene S.

I have extensive experience in the care sector, mostly working as a live-in carer. I am skilled in providing in-house care, assisting with dressing, helping with showering and bathing, and attending to lavatory needs. I also offer companionship and prepare meals, ensuring my clients feel comfortable and well cared for. I would describe myself as a conscientious and caring individual who always puts the well-being and needs of the person I’m caring for first. In addition to providing hands-on care, I have experience administering prescribed medication and driving my clients to doctor and hospital appointments. Through various training courses, I’ve gained a strong understanding of the standards required to keep those in my care safe, clean, and well-nourished. I strive to maintain a professional yet compassionate approach in everything I do. Many of my assignments have been long-term, which has allowed me to build meaningful and lasting relationships with those I support. I find this to be especially important when caring for individuals with physical dependencies or those living with dementia.
