About Sharon G.
I originally come from Africa and relocated to the UK in 2003. My passion for caregiving began at a young age when I supported my relatives, which motivated me to pursue a career in care. I have experience working with individuals with a wide range of conditions, including Alzheimer's Dementia, Cancer, Autism, Anxiety, ADHD, COPD, Cerebral Palsy, Asperger's Syndrome, Depression, Eating Disorders, Deafness, Learning Disabilities, both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes, Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Physical Disabilities, Stroke, Terminal Illness, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Vascular Dementia, Visual Impairment, and Epilepsy. I pride myself on being patient-centered, reliable, and sympathetic, and I am dedicated to providing thoughtful, person-focused care to everyone I support.

I enjoy spending my time cooking and experimenting with new recipes, keeping my space clean and organised, and going for walks to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. I love cooking and enjoy singing.
