Self-employed Live-in Carer
Currently based in Brighton, UK

I am a highly experienced live-in carer with over 20 years of hands-on experience supporting people living with physical disabilities and dementia in both nursing homes and private family homes in the UK.

Originally from Poland, I began my career in the UK care sector at the age of 20 in an RMBI nursing home in Surrey. Over the years, I have supported many individuals and families, helping people remain safely and comfortably in their own homes while maintaining dignity, independence and emotional stability.

I am currently based in Brighton and available for live-in placements across the UK.

I specialise in supporting people whose dementia affects understanding, communication and daily routines. My approach focuses strongly on calm presence, respectful communication and creating a sense of safety and continuity for the person I support.

My care approach is centred on:

• calm and respectful support
• communication-led care
• gentle prompting with personal care
• supporting daily structure and reassurance
• building trust and emotional stability
• maintaining dignity and independence at home

I am confident supporting clients who may feel anxious, confused or reluctant to accept care. I use person-centred communication and non-pharmacological approaches to reduce distress and help the person feel understood.

Practical support includes:

• dementia and memory care
• personal care and continence support
• medication prompting
• meal preparation and nutrition monitoring
• mobility and fall prevention
• companionship and meaningful daily activities
• emotional reassurance and gentle routine support
• maintaining communication with family members

Alongside my practical experience, I hold the following qualifications:

• Adult Mental Health First Aider – MHFA England
• CDP® Certified Dementia Practitioner®
• Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® Senior Certificate
• Edexcel Level 3 NVQ in Health and Social Care (Adults)
• SPECAL® Pro – Contented Dementia Trust

I am committed to maintaining up-to-date training and providing consistent, compassionate and reliable live-in support.

In my free time I enjoy walking, photography and writing. These quiet activities help me bring patience, calm presence and attentiveness into my work with clients.
