I am Nicola, a diligent individual who has dedicated 18 years of her life to caregiving and related services, based in Thurmaston. Rising from the beautifully rewarding journey of being a mother to three older children, I have honed my skills as a nurturer and guide. The affection and deep understanding I've developed throughout my parenthood has transitioned seamlessly into my professional career in health care.
Having a Caregiver/Companion certificate, Health Care Aides (HCA) Certificate, and being trained in First Aid and CPR, I am equipped with the necessary professional skills to cater to a range of healthcare needs. My extensive experience includes dealing with diagnoses such as Incontinence, Osteoporosis, Paralysis, Arthritis, Malnutrition, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia, and assisting bedridden patients. Additionally, I am well-versed in providing Alzheimer/Dementia Care, Palliative Care, and Parkinson Care. I can confidently help with daily tasks such as walking assistance, planning visits, outings, personal hygiene care, positioning patient, colostomy care, and range of motion exercises.
My responsibilities also extend to housekeeping tasks like grocery shopping, meal planning and preparation, performing errands, and more. I am experienced with heavy patient lifting and transfer and have dealt with patients with disabilities which only adds to my versatile skill-set as a caregiver.
Brimming with profound understanding, compassion, and patience, I am looking for a part-time Caregiver/Companion role in Home Health Care where my care services can be of value. I am available for service during the middle of the day and evenings, from Tuesday to Thursday, making me a reliable choice for your healthcare needs. My prefered working arrangement is live-out. I am eager to put my skills to practice and provide the countenance and support needed by my care recipients. To sum it up, I am not just a qualified healthcare professional, but also a mentor, guide, friend, and supporter for my patients. My desire to begin this new chapter is aimed at the year 2025.
I have 18 years experience in care and in a variety of care settings and sectors - Elderly, vulnerable adults and children, childcare and behavioural/disabilities.
I have worked in carehomes and out in the community.
I have always enjoyed working in care and meeting new people creating lasting relationships and being able to tailor care to suit each individual client.
