About Lavinia M.

With over 10 years of experience as a healthcare assistant and support worker, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals across a wide range of needs. My experience includes caring for the elderly, individuals with learning disabilities, and young adults with disabilities. I have worked in various care settings, including domiciliary care, hospitals, and live-in care. I have extensive experience working with clients managing conditions such as Alzheimer's, dementia (including vascular dementia), autism, cancer, depression, learning disabilities, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, physical disabilities, stroke, terminal illness, traumatic brain injuries, and visual impairment. Each individual is unique, and I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care that respects their dignity and well-being. I pride myself on being trustworthy, hardworking, and deeply respectful of those I support. With a wealth of training and hands-on experience, I am confident in my ability to provide high-quality care tailored to each person’s specific needs. Outside of my professional life, I am a mother of three and a grandmother of three. I enjoy attending church, watching TV, and listening to music in my free time. I am available for live-in care and would love the opportunity to discuss how I can support you or your loved one. Please feel free to reach out, and we can talk about your needs!

“Lavinia worked for my parents for nearly 5 years, as a live-in carer, from August 2017 - April 2022. Lavinia was sensitive and knowledgeable in communicating appropriately with, and caring practically for, my mother who had severe dementia, whilst striking the right note with my father who did not, at that time. She was utterly kind and empathetic, and gave my parents the space to feel that they had choices and were respected in their own home. She became a real friend to them, and to the rest of the family. We will miss her a lot. Lavinia is patient, calm, and flexible in her approach, willing to adapt to the changing needs of her clients. She demonstrated the ability to support physical disability, using a range of equipment. She was meticulous in record keeping and good in communicating with the rest of the family so that we could obtain whatever was needed to support them.”
