Hi
I am a 58 year old South African female looking for full-time, live-in care work. I have a British passport and I hold a valid driver`s license and have a DBS.
Besides having 2 years of nursing experience in Cape Town, I hold a degree in Psychology, which includes Psychopathology (the study of abnormal behavior) and have extensive care work experience. My training is up to date, I have completed the Care certificate and I have worked in the UK as a carer from 2002 to 2006 and again between 2014 to 2018 during which time I have cared for clients with, inter alia, the following conditions:
Paralysis
Alzheimer’s
Blindness/Visually challenged
Cancer/Palliative care
Dementia
Renal failure
Schizophrenia
Depression
Extreme old age
Stroke
Prolapsed disc
Incontinence
Asthma
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Compulsive-Obsessive behaviour
Post Esophageal tear complications
Parkinsonism Syndrome
Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) intracellulare infection
Fractured wrist & intracapsular fracture (hip fracture)
TIA (Transient ischemic attack/mini-stroke)
Hypertension
Nephrotic syndrome

All the above clients required a range of different care and skills. I have also worked with catheters, conveen`s, Cpap machine`s, hoists (standing as well) and electronic beds , bath and chair lifts. I have dressed wounds, administered morphine and general medications and handled wheel chairs and Zimmer frames. I have also done bed baths and the usual care for those who are incontinent.
On a general level, I have cooked, cleaned, shopped, run errands, arranged various doctor and hospital appointments, and visits to the library. I also encouraged physical activity both within the home as well as walk`s outside and arranged recreational activities for my clients.

While most of my assignments were 24/7, I have also done night duty assignments.
I have always found it easy to immerse myself in the role as caregiver and to give my clients the best possible care. I have a person-centred approach to the care of my clients. I endeavor to ensure their quality of life is the best it can be, be it with respect to their illness, disability, mental disorder, diets, recreational activities, their physical safety or their physical and emotional well-being. For me, every client is a unique human being with their own unique needs.
My clients and their families have always been happy with the level of care that I have provided and have acknowledged that I have impacted positively on their lives.

Excellent references are available on request.
I am available long term.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, my name is John Schofield and I’m 43 years old. I am looking to start a career as a live in carer in the UK. I live in Durban, South Africa but have a British passport, NI number and British bank account. I have about 6 years experience living and working in the UK but not as a live in carer. I come from a large family and am the youngest and only boy of 7 children. This has moulded me into a loving, caring, patient and humorous man. I have great people skills and am looking to use these and my personality to make a real positive difference in the life of someone who needs help. As a live in carer, I hope to also make a better life for myself and my 7 year old daughter. I hope to be able to contribute more financially for my daughter and to have a real sense of job satisfaction. I believe that this type of career will allow me to achieve this and the flexibility to visit my daughter in South Africa.

:-) #WorkLifeBalance
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My Client Search Criteria:
Live-in Only unless very local to Bournemouth.
* Non-smokers;
* I eat only #organic# fruit and veg and trust you are able to provide this (or agree a food allowance) - Incidentally, even eating organic, food bills for me are cheaper than for meat eaters ;-)

I am a good cook (traditional British meals and meat included if required); I am clean and tidy and am a good listener. I'm also a laid back, easy going, flexible person who loves to smile and make people happy. I help, not hinder and my glass is half-full, not empty. ;-)

I spent almost two years with a mid-70's lady with several health challenges including COPD, Scoliosis, OsteoArthritis and Macular degeneration. Latterly with newly diagnosed Muscular Dystrophy FSH. She took a mixture of medications. I helped her with showering, dressing when necessary. I prepared and served all meals, general household duties, as well as transporting her to appointments and outings when required. I was also a companion to her and we get on very well. I love to use humour and keep life as happy as possible.

I do have a current DBS including the online update service. I do drive. My licence is for Automatic transmission only.

I'd be looking for a minimum of GBP120 per day.

Kind regards,
Lesley Mitchell (Ms.)
