• 1-3 years
• Female

Reliable, kind and compassionate carer with over three years experience of caring for elderly clients.
DBS certified with a strong commitment to enhancing the quality of life for clients. I was born in Latvia, but I’ve been living in London from 1995, and I’m fluent in English.
Experienced in helping with wheelchair and mobility, showering, dressing, bed routine, medication assistance, doctors’ visits and providing companionship. I have worked with people with cognitive impairment, such as dementia, as well as with persons that have suffered a stroke. I’m happy to help with light housekeeping duties. I’m also a keen and able cook, and enjoy preparing healthy meals, as well as assisting with feeding if necessary.
I always try my best to develop a real connection with the person I care for and help them in any way I can. I find ways to bring joy into care, such as reading to my clients, encouraging exercise and nature walks and catering to their particular interests.
