About Sofia T.

Hello, my name is Sofia Torreliza. I am a compassionate and dedicated carer with 18 years of experience in health and social care, including 8 years providing live-in care. Throughout my career, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of the importance of building meaningful relationships and delivering person-centred support with kindness, patience and respect.My experience has equipped me with strong communication, observation and analytical skills, allowing me to work effectively with clients, families, relatives and healthcare professionals. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with a wide range of needs, including dementia, Parkinson’s disease, stroke care, palliative care, stoma care and wound management. I am also fully trained in hoisting, moving and handling techniques, ensuring that I can provide safe and dignified support at all times.I hold NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Health and Social Care, as well as a Certificate of Higher Education in Healthcare Practice. I have always been committed to developing my knowledge and skills to provide the highest standard of care possible.I take great pride in delivering compassionate, thoughtful and consistent care that is tailored to each individual’s needs and preferences. Building genuine connections with the people I support is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work, and I believe that trust, empathy and understanding are at the heart of excellent care.
