I am a self-employed living carer and my aim is to work with the clients to ensure that their lives are lived fully and independently as possible in their own environment. I have been a Live- In Carer for the last 7 years, caring for people especially those who are experiencing difficulties like stroke and dementia but before that I worked as a Social Care Assessor my role involved assessing clients care needs. I have cared for my sister who had a stroke which lead dementia. Her early signs of dementia she suffered a memory loss that disrupted her daily activities, difficulty completing small tasks in the house, making plans and solving a problem, confused with places and times, misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps, making poor judgments, withdrawing from social life, changes in mood and personality, forgetting her family members, difficulty to speak or write words, scared to have a conversation, that reduced her level of independence. When my sister went into a supported accommodation I developed an interest in looking after people who had similar condition like my sister. This episode with caring for my sister has given me the opportunity, experience and desire to continue in this role. Caring for my sister taught me a lot, I have become very patient with everything I do, I have learnt to respect others regardless of what they are and do. I am an approachable person, I have the ability to build a good working relationship with staff, clients and their families. I have the ability to deal with difficult situations and challenges.

I have learnt to work hand in hand with other professionals i.e. police, emergency services (ambulance crew, fire brigade), GP, nurses, social workers, family representatives etc and report concerns immediately to my immediate supervisor. I have excellent interpersonal skills and communicate sensitively with a wide range of client groups, setting appropriate boundaries.
