Marion G.
My name is Marion and I live in West Lothian. I have been a carer for the last 12 years and love it. During my time as a carer, I have dealt with many different life-changing illnesses. I am very experienced at dealing with Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and people living with disabilities. I am very reliable and hardworking. I love spending time with my clients and listening to their stories about their lives. My main hobby is gardening which I have now extended and have an allotment where I grow my own fruit and veg. I find this a very rewarding and relaxing hobby. I love being outside and going for country walks. I love nothing more than helping people and bringing a smile to their day. I am kind and a very good listener. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile and hopefully will hear from you soon.
