I work throughout the UK and Overseas, travelling to Riyadh, LA, Switzerland, Austria , i have full experience of working in fully staffed homes and am able to identify when privacy is need and when my presence is required, i am kind compassionate and caring, i am organised and keep a diary for each family i work for documenting feeding patterns, routines, events, anything i feel is relevant and keeps the families informed, i have feeding experience ( Breast & Bottle ) and have access to a qualified IBCLC when i need it who i have worked with clinically, i have full training under the NHS including Basic life support, Manual Handling, Safeguarding ( adults & children ) Health and Safety, Infection Control, i am also trained to remove cannulas, catheters, blood glucose monitoring, clinical observations on patients ( adults & children ) i am able to prioritise and am quite routine based but always allowing for flexibility, i am adaptable which is a must when working for privately in peoples homes and this comes from years of experience, i have undertaken private training and continue to expand of my knowledge in this ever changing environment.
