Tell us about you!
I find comfort in being at home and I love being around my family but I also enjoy travelling, and I've been fortunate enough to visit many places in the last few years. I have a Springer Spaniel called Nellie who loves being outdoors and I enjoy venturing out with her.
I'm currently studying Science at college 3 days a week and I'm also casually learning British Sign Language, as you can probably tell I love to keep my mind busy by learning new skills. I also love to read, especially James Patterson books.
I know I am an inexperienced applicant but the COVID pandemic has made me realise how lonely life can be, especially in the absence of relatives and I really believe that nobody should be alone. I'm very grateful for the family I have who have helped get through these very long months but I'm also aware that not everybody has this support system and I would love to give some of this support back to those who need it.
I may not have the qualifications or training in this area of work but I do think I have the right personality for the role and I am willing to work as hard as I need to, to be a great carer.
Availability: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
Any other information?: My current availability is 3 days a week however I am leaving my full time job in 3 weeks time in order to work in the care sector so will be available more days from December 21st.

Tell us about you!
Hi, my name is Tanya.
I have run my own 2 businesses since 2003 as both a nail technician and my cleaning business. I have only been working part time recently, but throughout my career the thing I have loved the most is doing pedicures for the older people because they really enjoy and appreciate my treatments, as well as the companionship.
Most of my cleaning jobs throughout the years have also been more for the elderly and they have enjoyed my company also and enjoyed to chat. I am very interested in this position because I am looking for some kind of care work, because I am extremely caring and enjoy supporting people. I enjoy being around people and talking a lot, I enjoy drawing, swimming and walking.
I worked for 3 years for an elderly couple in Woodstock, where I initially just started cleaning for them, but as they got to know me more, the lady was living with a disability and her husband was living with Alzheimer's, so they gradually asked me to do more things for them, like take them both shopping, I used to take her husband out to the cafe also for a coffee, which he really enjoyed.
Later on they even asked me to start helping them with some of their phone calls and help with their utility bills, I really enjoyed helping them and I used to go to help them also 3 times per week, which is why this position sounds ideal to me.
Availability: Monday to Friday 9am-6pm but only part time within those hours to a maximum of 20 hours per week.
I am happy to travel up to 30 minutes, so the location of Chawley suits me really well as it is a 25 minute drive.
