I am a qualified adult nurse with over 20 years of experience, bringing a strong foundation of skills and knowledge to deliver safe, person-centred, high-quality care for individuals with a wide range of health and social care needs, including dementia, palliative care, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, and mobility challenges. I am passionate about supporting clients and their families throughout their health journeys, ensuring they feel informed, reassured, and cared for every step of the way.In my role as a live-in carer, I believe that consistency, companionship, and empathy are essential. I strive to create an environment where individuals feel safe, valued, and supported, while promoting choice, dignity, and an enhanced quality of life. I am committed to making a meaningful and positive difference in the daily lives of those I care for.Outside of work, I enjoy going to the cinema and theatre, attending Zumba classes, and spending quality time with my family.I hold a degree in Adult Nursing and have 23 years of professional experience, including 4 years in live-in care. I am known for my warm, calm, and approachable nature, and I build strong relationships easily. I am bubbly, personable, honest, and a good communicator, always striving to go above and beyond in my role. My passion for care and nursing drives me to give my very best to every individual I support.
