Kirsten is reliable, trustworthy and a good time keeper. She is practical, outgoing and sincere. She enjoys meeting new people and putting people at ease. She also loves order and organisation.
Kirsten has a love of running and has completed two marathons and several half marathons. She is also a member of two local amateur dramatic societies and loves performing on stage.
Kirsten is an animal lover and walks her 13 year old King Charles Spaniel every day on the local beaches and burrows. She loves meeting up with friends and entertaining them at home.
Kirsten loves listening to people and many of her friends always compliment her ability to listen intently.
Kirsten cared for her husband before he passed away in June 2019. In the last year of his life she was integral in making appointments with various specialists and getting him to appointments in a timely manner.
She used to arrange his weekly meds in pill boxes to ensure that none were missed. She would speak to medical staff on his behalf when he was incredibly poorly. In the last 2 weeks of his life, she nursed him at home with help from outside sources including the Hospice and maintained his dignity throughout.
What Kirsten says:
Since my husbands death I have missed giving that care and compassionate support to someone. It filled me with enormous gratification to be able to help, soothe and make his end of life feel more comfortable.
I am always told that I am a good listener and that I am thoughtful. I am not good at blowing my own trumpet but I like to treat people as I like to be treated, with respect. I am happy to give contacts of people who have said this to me.
Availability: I will be available Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays anytime. I am not available until May 10th due to current work situation however I may be able to provide a couple of hours here and there if it can be fitted in and around my current work situation. I'm flexible on how much work I can undertake as I will have other part time work already staying in place.
