About Silvija D.

My name is Silvija Drikane, and I have over 15 years of experience providing high-quality care and support to people with a wide range of needs. I have extensive experience caring for individuals living with dementia, mental health conditions, and other age-related illnesses, always delivering person-centred care with kindness, patience, and respect.I hold a certificate in Mental Health Care and regularly completed refresher training to ensure my knowledge and skills remained up to date.I believe every person deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and understanding. I take the time to get to know each individual, building trusting relationships that help them feel safe, valued, and comfortable in their own home. I am calm, reliable, and dedicated to promoting independence while providing the reassurance and support my clients and their families need. Caring is more than just a job to me, it's about making a positive difference to someone's everyday life.
