About Margaret H.

I am a dedicated and compassionate carer with over a decade of experience in supporting individuals with disabilities and the elderly to live fulfilling lives. I began my career in care in 2009 with Bradford Metropolitan Council’s Social Services, where I worked closely with clients to promote their independence and well-being. My training has been extensive, including an NVQ in Care and the Care Certificate, ensuring I stay up-to-date with best practices. Since 2013, I have specialised as a live-in carer, employed as a care practitioner. In this role, I have demonstrated unwavering dedication to my profession and clients, providing trustworthy, flexible, and empathetic care. I have successfully supported vulnerable individuals, assisting with personal hygiene, mobility, medication administration, and offering companionship. I have also gained significant experience working with elderly clients, including those with various forms of dementia and disabilities. My true strength lies in fostering a positive, engaging environment for my clients. I excel at supporting their social needs, interests, and ensuring they remain active and comfortable. Additionally, I am a skilled cook and prioritiSe planning activities that are both enjoyable and safe.
