My name is Mabel Kawaya. I’m a dedicated and highly motivated live-in carer with over 25 years of experience in the health and social care sector. I hold an NVQ Level 2 in Health and Social Care and have developed a wide range of skills that enable me to provide high-quality, person-centred care.
Throughout my career, I’ve supported individuals with a variety of health conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, parkinson’s disease, cancer, anxiety, depression, and deafness. I understand the unique challenges these conditions can bring, and I’m experienced in providing tailored support that meets both the physical and emotional needs of my clients.
I take pride in being hardworking, enthusiastic, and committed to every role I undertake. Whether I’m working as part of a team or independently, I always strive to deliver care to the highest possible standard. I pay great attention to detail and make it a priority to treat every individual I support with dignity, respect, and compassion.
I enjoy building strong, trusting relationships with those I care for and take real satisfaction in making a positive difference in their lives. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and calm under pressure, and I adapt easily to new environments. I value clear communication and always aim to create a warm and comfortable atmosphere in the home. I’m also respectful of different cultures and backgrounds, and I always work to meet each client’s unique needs and preferences.
Outside of work, I enjoy travelling, watching films, and listening to country music. I believe that a caring heart, combined with professional experience, is key to providing exceptional live-in care—and I bring both to every placement.
