“I have a positive attitude to my work and very devoted to my role. I have found throughout my life that I
am good at cheering people up and I would love to have the opportunity to make a difference to
someone else’s well being and care. My approach has always been to support people with anything they
need and to be discreet, calm and gentle when required.”
Experience
Key areas of experience: visual impairments, dementia, mental health, stroke, heart failure,
I have been involved in care in both professional and personal capacities. Working within a
residential home was a very rewarding experience that I had in my professional career and
formed very strong connections with the residents.
Whilst working in the residential home, I supported individuals living with different conditions. I have
always looked to maintain the residents’ independence as much as possible, and this was demonstrated
when I helped a lady who had become blind; though I was always on hand to guide and assist the
lady, I also allowed her to manage as much of her care herself. I also provided close emotional
support for another lady who was living with a mental health condition, as well as providing medication,
and also helped an individual with dementia with their personal hygiene. Some of the other areas which
I assisted with include but not limited to.

I also supported my mother-in-law after she experienced a stroke and later developed dementia,
and this was of great comfort to my husband. I was on hand to assist with cooking, cleaning and
dressing, but was also there as a reassuring companion.
I am best described as a kind and helpful person. Though confident and sharp in my abilities as a carer, I am very
humble and puts other people first. In my spare time, I enjoys listening to music and watching films, and also have an interest in sewing. I have very strong cooking skills. I like to help others & enjoy my job.
