Local carers in Matlock

Tracey J.
I started live in care work in January 2018. “A friend suggested becoming a carer since she thought it would suite my personality, previously I was a hairdresser for 20 years. I would like to care for clients in the London area and within a 60 mile radius. I have cared for my father on and off since his triple heart bypass operation in 2001 and lately, my mother, as she has begun to show signs of what we believe to be dementia. What can I bring to my customer? I would care for them as if they were my own parents and with training and experience aim to be the best carer I can be.” Experience Key areas of experience: dementia, heart conditions, osteoporosis, macular degeneration, palliative care, stoma care. I am happy to care for either make or female. I have provided care for a lady who had osteoporosis and recurring TIAs, as well as macular degeneration. In this placement, I needed to be patient and listen to my customer throughout all caring processes. While working as a live-in carer I have gained experience and skills in delivering many aspects of care including: Administering medication Stoma management Moving and handling Personal care Housekeeping and meal preparation Providing companionship Continence care I started caring for my father after he had a triple heart bypass operation in 2001, followed by a stent operation. I feel that my previous personal experience of care has given me the ability to be empathetic and understanding of my customer’s situations. I will strive to ensure they are always happy and comfortable within my care, feeling as supported as possible. My parents moved to Hungary in 2017 to live with me, while they were living with me, I helped my father with a number of his everyday tasks, some of which include administering his medication three times a day, ensuring that he ate nutritious and healthy meals, completing shopping tasks, and making sure the space was kept clean and tidy and I even assisted with his personal care. I also looked after my mother in various aspects of her life including continence care and providing companionship. My mother has dementia Personality I am a mother of three children and two step children. I cared for my son for six months until he sadly passed away. From this, I am incredibly strong and empathetic. I am also a person of integrity, and honest, reliable, and committed. Having a father who struggled with his health for a number of years has instilled the ability to be empathetic to both the person needing care and their family. I am also very organised, a strength required and developed through my previous employment endeavours. However, I considers my deep love and concern for humanity to be my best quality. In my spare time, I enjoys connecting with friends and family, going to the beach, picnics, cooking, gardening, hiking, Bingo, trying new restaurants and eating experiences, and the outdoors in general. I am passionate about exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. I enjoy cooking and have developed an interest specifically in the Banting (Keto) style of cooking and I constantly experiment with new recipes. I especially love a good currystews and soups. My husband is great at cooking traditional Hungarian dishes and I havelearnt to prepare a couple of these dishes from him. Driving: Yes Smoking: No, but uses an electronic cigarette

Ciprian S.
My name is Ciprian and I have spent the last 12 years working as a carer and healthcare assistant here in the UK, so I managed to gather a lot of experience with quite a wide range of health conditions, with patients of all ages. I have been part of the NHS for about four months in 2016, after which I decided to focus on the private care sector, specifically on the live-in aspect of it. I am a very enthusiastic and motivated type of person, and my work experience goes beyond the health care system here in the UK, being previously a teacher and language trainer back home in Romania prior to coming to the UK in 2010. I am sure that I can find a way to help you and your personal needs one way or another, and I want to thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I’m looking forward to hearing from you soon. Best wishes,, Ciprian

I have been a carer for 24 years. I first started in care in a nursing home worked there for 4 years, gained alot of knowlege, stoma care, catheter care, pallative care, dementia care. I then went to work for Derbyshire county council for 19 years working in the community. This was mainly full personal care, medication administration, domestic duties. Hoisting clients. I then went onto working for a private care agency but this wasnt for me. I love my job as a care worker love meeting new people, and very laid back, but also like a laugh and a joke to. Love pets to.

I am very calm in nature with almost three years of experience within care where I have worked in care homes and now work in domiciliary care in the community. Most of my colleagues have expressed my valued support whilst working with them and an asset to the team. I do feel it is my calling to work within care and care for others. To know that I have made a difference to their day even by the smallest of things is such a blessing. I feel by creating a good strong relationship with the client and their needs gives them security and helps them to feel safe, especially in their own homes. They need to be listened to which is something I am good at. I am empathetic and compassionate and care so much about the people I look after. I am approachable and relaxed. I don’t stress about anything and like to make people feel at ease when they are in my company. I am experienced and know my job and what to do. I learn very quickly with client’s and their needs. I will go above and beyond to make them feel cared about and important. I have had experience of working with clients that have had catheter, PEG, stoma and required moving and handling, I am currently in the process of updating my training so will be able to offer these services very soon.
