Private Care in Little Paxton - Linda

Little Paxton

I worked for a lovely gentleman (along with working at the pharmacy till 2016 when I went full time for the gentleman) I started as his cleaner then ended up as his carer.

Sadly he died in Feb 2021 & I miss him. I have had the odd job with agencies but I am looking for similar work like my last gentleman on a one to one basis.

I worked in a care home in Paxton where I did 1st aid courses, hygiene, hazardous chemicals etc the rest.

I have a good heart & soul & I care, especially about those that can be forgotten in the system.

I'm great at listening, I have a lot of time for people, I love hearing about their life. I enjoy "people" I'm at my best being around the elderly, I love hearing their stories, looking at their photographs, black & white footage of days gone by.

My mum was living with dementia before she died 2016. My last gentleman also was living with dementia & you learn to go along with what they say knowing that if you say otherwise or contradict, it upsets them greatly. (Best practise from the Alzheimer’s Society)

The majority that I have learnt is from experience, not from exams, NVQs, computer tests or endless training meetings.

It is in my DNA, it's who I am.

I love all types of music, especially the 60's, I love classical, I love old movies. I love animals!

Do you have a driving license and access to a vehicle?: Yes, I have a driving license & access to a car

Private home care in St Neots - Becky

Tell us about you!

I’m a friendly, outgoing person who likes to put my all in to everything I do. I love socialising with friends, spending time with family and being kept busy.

I really do love to help people and feel I’ve made a difference to someone’s day.

I have experience helping with my step-nan living with dementia. I also have experience working with vulnerable individuals, both young and old. This experience comes from my time helping at disability sports festivals, carrying out work experience in Bedford College’s foundation department and also working as a support worker at a fortnightly group for children with learning disabilities.

At the fortnightly group where I work as a support worker, I am also tasked with creating and planning new activities. I have to plan carefully and put a lot of thought thought into each activity to meet the needs of the people I care for.

I am a great communicator, able to speak to anyone. I can always find common ground with people and build from that. I am a chatty, bubbly individual and hope I make others feel at ease.

I am also able to approach conversations in different ways dependent on the person I am speaking with. Saying something in a different way or explaining it differently to ensure I can get across any information to anyone. Everyone understand things in different ways for example some people find things easier to understand if they have visuals and examples.

I have experience keeping notes, maintaining records, any administration and also running and attending meetings.

Availability: Day times and evenings. I can be flexible.
