I am a soft natured, young 55 year old woman. With a caring nature and passion to help people. I have been dealing with dementia cases and Alzheimer's. I love to work with the elderly who need someone to help them. I love craft work and am very much an outside kinda girl. I am from south Africa and go home every 3 months. I have 2 grand children from my only son. I enjoy cooking and like a good clean and tidy environment.
I do feel i need to be entirely honest and upfront as to the kind of client i am looking for as well as location and living conditions. I hope you find this fair as from experience i do believe it is important for the carer to be happy in what she is doing.
I do not want to be in or around london....UNLESS it is in pinner/eastcote. I like to be more in the villages or smaller towns. Id love to be on a farm or somewhere with pleasant and nice surroundings are . The hustle and bustle is too much. I do have a car so im happy to travel. Would love a coastal position too. Prior to this i was working in pirton....a small village outside hitchin. I was extremely happy there working with a 101 lady whos sadly has just passed. She had dementia and was a very pleasant and loving lady. She lived in a house. Very important......as i hate not being able to step outside. I have cared for many different clients aswell as males. I do care regularly for a lady with slight dementia in stratford upon avon. She lives in a house too. I like to be able to run the home and be more in charge. I maintain an excellently clean and well working home. I consider myself to be a very good carer. I do have refrences too. I like to be able to cook meals. . I can not do manual handeling and working with hoists etc. I prefer a client to be continent.
I hope you do not find my mail cheeky. But as i said i feel i need to be honest with what i want.
I go back to south africa in april and return in may for 3 months and then off to south africa again. And that is how i work.... 3 months working and one month off.
