About Alida M.

I’m Alida Miko, a compassionate and dedicated live-in carer with a background in psychology with several years of experience supporting clients with diverse needs. I studied psychology at university in Sweden, which deepened my understanding of human behavior and mental health. My career began in the corporate world, working as an Executive Administrative Assistant in a pharmaceutical company, where I developed strong organisational and communication skills. Afterward, I transitioned into the media sector, where I held a director position, managing projects and teams with a focus on detail and empathy. Since 2019, I’ve been working as a live-in carer, where I’ve had the privilege of providing support to clients with a wide range of physical, neurological, and psychological conditions, including ADHD, Alzheimer's, Dementia, Anxiety, Asperger’s, Autism, Cancer, Cerebral Palsy, Depression, Eating Disorders, HIV, Learning Disabilities, Osteoporosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Physical Disabilities, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, Vascular Dementia, Stroke, Spinal Injury, and Terminal Illness. I also have experience managing complex care, such as tracheostomy care and PEG feeding, allowing me to assist clients with advanced needs safely and competently. I am multilingual, fluent in English, French, Swahili, and Swedish, which has helped me connect with clients from diverse backgrounds. My approach to care is grounded in patience, empathy, and a genuine desire to make a difference in others’ lives. I am committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where clients feel respected, valued, and encouraged to live as independently as possible.
