I drive anywhere in the UK and do not charge travel expenses. Hourly: I will be available from now until June 2025 for hourly assignments in north-east Fife only, on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays only. --- I am a Scottish lady with a Law degree who decided to go into care and housekeeping. I started medical school in St Andrews in September 2024 and hope to combine this with occasional hourly care assignments in the local area, as well as live-in work during holiday times. I have been a carer since late 2021, undergoing full residential training with a live-in agency. In my time with the agency I gained experience working with MND, learning disabilities, Parkinsons, stroke, catheter care and late-stage dementia, among others. In May 2022 my friend had a stroke and I was invited by her family to move in and help her to recover. I lived with her as a carer and a friend until June 2023 when she sadly passed away. Since my friend's passing I have worked with a variety of clients through Curam, as well as with a private client from October until March this year. Up to this point my references have been uniformly positive. I have four 'Excellent' recommendations on Curam. I would describe myself as independent, conscientious and an organiser. If your environment is very cluttered or disorganised, this would need to be sorted out before I can start working with you. Apart from my native English, I am a DPSI-qualified Spanish interpreter with excellent Italian and French. I do not charge clients for travel to or from placements. I have a full driving licence (manual and automatic) and am insured to take clients in my car. Two practical points: 1. I cannot commit to a placement until the Service Agreement has been approved. Recently (May 2024) a client made a firm offer but pulled out several days later, on short notice. 2. I ask clients to settle their invoices before work begins. Because of a difficult experience in the past, I will not travel to you until this has been done. These funds are held safely by Curam until after the end of the work period and will be refunded if for any reason the work is not completed.

Flora is kind and caring. She is diligent and adaptable in caring for my husband with late dementia and Parkinson's disease. Flora maintains a safe and clean environment. She is a hard worker and is keen to provide the best care she can by encouraging my husband to drink and take his medication. She makes delicious nutritious meals and was interesting to talk to as she has a wealth of knowledge and varied life experiences. She fitted into our home well.

I can highly recommend Flora, she has cared for my 94 year old Mother over the Christmas period, she has been extremely attentive, professional and caring to Mum's needs and wellbeing. I hope she will be able to care for Mum sometime in the future between her studying. Thank you Flora you are an amazing lady and we miss you already.

Flora worked as a live-in Carer for 11 weeks over 3 different time frames looking after our 92 year-old Mum, who suffers from a mild form of dementia and has mobility issues. I can recommend her for being very caring and attentive and she communicated well with my brother and me. She likes to keep the house nice and tidy and was happy to prepare fresh healthy meals for them both. Flora has a car and would take Mum out for visits which made her days more enjoyable. Mum enjoyed her company

Flora is an excellent carer and I would recommend her to anyone. Her greatest strengths are her cooking, housekeeping and organisational skills.

I can highly recommend Flora. Apart from being punctual, reliable and very capable she is friendly and thoughtful. She went out of her way to ensure my sister was put at ease and was comfortable.
