Based in Shefford, Bedfordshire

I am a professional and experienced care worker with over 25 years’ experience, working in care homes, for domiciliary care companies and as a personal assistant. I also work as a complementary therapist, offering treatments to my service users and anyone meeting the criteria for care.

My experience involves supporting people living with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and other challenging health conditions.

I enjoy working closely with people, providing personalised support to improve people’s well-being and maintaining independence where possible.

I continue to attend training on a regular basis to update my skills and knowledge.
