About Me
I am 28 years old, I live with my husband Adam, our 3 cats- patch, socks and big bad Barry.( he lives up to his name) Our 16 year old dog Oscar. We have recently extended our family with a rabbit called super rabbit Clive.
My family and friends have described me as fun, caring,trusting and lovely to be with. I have a lot of patience, I am calm under pressure.
I enjoy the little things in life, I am very family oriented, spending time with my nephews and nieces. Good series on Netflix, spending time with my pets, swimming, horse riding, singing, I love a good garden centre specially if it involves cake and hot chocolate!
My free time is mostly spend helping my mother raise my 6 year old nephew.
Watching him grow in to the lovely kind little boy he is and explore the world through play, education, books, outings. Has been my biggest achievement so far. He is a wild child, keeping me on my toes. I learn a lot from him. We do lots of different activities from arts and crafts, Lego, to feeding the ducks at Ellesmere lake , the zoo, bug hunting, gardening, Shopping, baking, swimming ect.
My Experience
I have a range of different experiences with adults and children with and without extra needs. I can do little bits of Makaton.
During college I did my work experience in a pre-school setting. I then went on to work in a residential home with young adults with learning disabilities, challenging behaviour, mental health, epilepsy.
The past 5 years I have been privately employed, I have worked for different families , short term and long term.
I currently support a wonderful 11 year old who has learning disabilities, I have cared for him since he was 7. I have loved watching him grow, into a loving kind funny little boy. I meet him off the school bus, prepare meals , keep him safe, happy and entertained. Support with personal care, medication, days out. Over night care too.
I have recently support a young lady, with learning disabilities and is differently abled. I supported her with everyday care, personal care, cleaning, activities in and out of the house.
Previously I looked after a little boy, getting him ready in the mornings to take to school. I prepared breakfast, got him dressed ect. I also watched the dogs and home when the family went on holiday.
I supported a 20 year old, with autism, epilepsy and serve anxiety. We would build their confidence in public and within the home, I would take them to appointments, help with daily household tasks.
I have looked after an elderly lady, who had dementia and bipolar. She was 95. I supported with personal care, meal preparation, keeping the house clean and tidy. Little bits of gardening , Laundry. She loved the company and would spend hours showing me photographs and telling me old stories of her travels around the world.
