Exeter EX4
Tell us about you!
I really enjoy cooking and I am great at it! I am sporty and enjoy tennis, yoga, swimming and cycling. I love people and keeping my eye out for the ones that get left behind on the sidelines.
I am respectful and thoughtful to others and their needs. I am very inclusive and enjoy supporting and encouraging others to make the best of their lives. I am a connected and intuitive person.
I'm a perfectionist and love arts & crafts (although only when their perfect!). I enjoy small detail work that I can get absorbed in. It makes me really happy and helps keep me sane. I have really close relationships and enjoy keeping in touch with my friends and travelling to see them as they are all over the world. I love live music and reading too.
I write and really enjoy it and I am trying to write a couple of children’s books. I also trained as a reflexologist & massage therapist and did for some time use my skills professionally.
I have also been involved with various voluntary work over the past 20 years. The most recent was with Devon Rape Crisis. I was there for 4 years and worked on the helpline and one to one supporting women. An absolutely amazing organisation to be a part of.
I have worked in lots of different care/support settings.
I really enjoyed working at Age UK as my jobs were so varied. I supported an elderly man for 3 years which was very special. He had no family and was very misunderstood by other people. He was such a gentle soul. I was very sad when he died.
I also really enjoyed working with young women with learning disabilities. They were such a joy... even though it was often really hard work! I regularly stayed with them for 2/3 days at a time doing whatever was needed to support them in their daily lives.
I also support 2 women living with M.E and have done for some years, it is really varied work
