About Lydia O.

Hello, my name is Lydia, and I am a dedicated and professional live-in carer with over several years of experience supporting individuals with varying levels of dependency. Throughout my career, I have provided care for clients living with Dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Diabetes, and complex needs, including spinal injuries. My approach is centered on being a compassionate and attentive companion, always prioritizing my client’s needs, listening to their concerns, and supporting them in their daily routines while encouraging their independence. I am a qualified health and social care professional, committed to continuous learning and growth in my field. I regularly complete training courses to ensure my knowledge remains current and aligned with best practices. In addition to my professional achievements, I have earned recognition for my dedication, including multiple awards such as Youth Work & Community Development and the prestigious Annette Fitzsimons Memorial Prize, which acknowledged my exceptional contribution to the well-being of young people during placement. Caring for others is not just a profession but a passion, and I take great pride in fostering meaningful relationships with my clients while delivering the highest standard of care.
