About Lydia O.

Hello my name is Lydia and I'm a professional live in carer with over 15 years experience supporting people with various levels of dependancy. I have supported my clients with Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Diabetes and complex care needs including spinal injury. I am a good companion to my client and will always put their needs first and ensure I am attentive, listen and provide support with their daily routine whilst promoting their independence. I am a qualified health and social care professional and have successfully completed multiple training courses to ensure my knowledge is kept up to date. I enjoy learning and have achieved multiple awards including Youth Work & Community Development and received the Annette Fitzsimons Memorial Prize for an exceptional contribution to the well being of young people whilst on placement.
