Private home care in Hetton-le-Hole - Kate
Hetton-le-Hole
Tell us about you! I love to travel, read and shop and I love going for walks with my pet dog Lincoln. I enjoy travelling to different parts of the dales and country side to walk him. I love to help people, given the job I’m currently doing this is something I do on a daily basis. I meet people from all walks of life with a tale to tell and I can listen to particularly elderly people telling me stories from yesteryear all day! It’s rewarding that I have been an ear for someone to talk to. Oh and coffee, I love coffee!
My dad had a stroke 4 years ago, he was 60 at the time and very fit and healthy so it was a huge shock. He had paralysis on his left side but he never gave up and now is able to walk. I have 3 brothers and between us and mum we make sure he still gets about and help with shopping and just general things.
He can do a lot himself but now he doesn’t drive we get the groceries so mum doesn’t have that to do. The reason I want to help people is I seeing how much it means to help someone and a family. It’s extremely rewarding that you have made someone’s life that little easier.
