# Profile Introduction
I am a **British live-in carer with over 4+ years' experience**, having worked in live-in care on and off since 2015. I hold a **British passport and have the right to work in the UK**.
I have a calm, warm and practical approach to care and enjoy the one-to-one nature of live-in work. I have supported clients with personal care, limited mobility, medication prompting, meal preparation, household tasks, appointments, companionship and maintaining independence in their own homes.
I am reliable, responsible and comfortable working independently, while respecting each client's routines, privacy, dignity and personal choices. I particularly enjoy getting to know the person behind the care needs and becoming someone they can trust and rely on.
I bring a friendly personality, good conversation, humour and a practical approach to everyday life. I enjoy cooking and preparing good meals, and I aim to create a relaxed, positive and comfortable home environment.
My experience includes supporting clients with **COPD, scoliosis, arthritis, osteoporosis, hearing difficulties and reduced mobility**, as well as Stroke and dementia (not aggressive clients, sorry) among other age-related and physical care needs.
I am looking for a good, stable placement where I can build a positive and lasting working relationship with my client and their family.
I hold an **Enhanced DBS with a continuous subscription to the DBS Update Service**.
I am open to both private live-in care positions and established care providers and would be very happy to discuss any suitable opportunity.
I am willing to travel most places for the right fit. I'm looking to cover 3 weeks each month. It is important for me to not have disturbed sleep, aside of course, from genuine emergencies.
I'm also open to ongoing weeks consistently for several months initially.
NB: To CQC Agencies - Apologies, but I am not willing to provide nearly 50 years of lifetime jobs.
