About David R.
I am a compassionate, empathetic, and dedicated professional carer with over two decades of experience providing high-quality support with a sensitive and caring approach. Throughout my career, I have helped clients with daily living activities, personal care, nutrition, and mobility, always striving to maintain a safe and comfortable environment.
My strong communication skills allow me to collaborate effectively with healthcare professionals, families, and multidisciplinary teams. I am passionate about promoting dignity and independence for all clients, particularly those living with chronic illnesses or disabilities.
I began my professional journey as a product manager before transitioning into the care sector, a decision that has enriched my life and career. I hold qualifications in health and social care and am deeply committed to ongoing personal and professional development. My goal is to contribute positively to my clients' well-being and enhance their quality of life.
