Caregiver / Companion, Home Support Worker, Bachelor's Degree

I am an A-Level student who wishes to use their time and energy to care for others because I believe kindness and compassion can truly change someone’s day. I am someone who listens, notices the little things, and values making people feel seen and supported. For me, this is not just about helping with tasks, but about bringing comfort, companionship. I want to work in the field of care because I’m drawn to the idea of supporting people at times when it matters most. As a student, I spend a lot of time focused on my own future, but working in care gives me the chance to step outside of that and really focus on others. I find it inspiring to listen to people’s stories, learn from their experiences, and know that even simple things like being present, showing patience, or offering a smile can make a real difference. For me, caring is not just about providing help, it’s about building connections and creating moments of comfort and dignity that people truly deserve.

I have experience in private caring and have worked as a PA for various clients. I am a hardworking person who is kind, caring, and cheery. I am very positive and enjoy looking after people. My hobbies include walking, reading, and going to the gym. I love spending time with my family. I have three teenage boys who are now grown up. I am a trained nurse, but I am currently not registered. I have experience in private care, nursing home care, and have also worked in hospital settings.
