About Esther O.

With over 20 years of experience in providing exceptional care, I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver who always prioritises the well-being and comfort of my clients. I hold both an NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care, and my expertise spans a wide range of care needs, including supporting individuals with dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, stoma care, PEG feeding, catheter care, and palliative care. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in personal care, assisting with medication administration, preparing nutritious meals, and maintaining a clean and comfortable living environment. I am skilled at monitoring clients’ health and well-being, offering emotional support, and ensuring that their physical and psychological needs are met. I believe in the importance of building strong, trusting relationships with both clients and their families. My strong communication and interpersonal skills help me provide not just physical care, but also much-needed companionship and emotional support. I collaborate closely with families and other caregivers to ensure the highest quality of care and to improve the quality of life for those I support. As a caregiver, I am patient, empathetic, resilient, and observant. While I approach challenges with a direct and serious demeanor, I am always focused on delivering compassionate and individualized care. I am committed to safeguarding my clients and am vigilant about their safety and well-being.
