Directory of Personal Assistants

I am a bubbly outgoing person with several years of care experience including dementia and parkinsons. I am very passionate about all animals and enjoy darts, swimming and spending time with children and friends. Sometimes in life we all need that little bit of extra help. I can make that difference by providing good quality care whilst understanding individual needs, promoting independence and being a carer who is reliable honest and trustworthy.

I first got involved in personal care when a dear friend of mine became ill. I looked after her and attended to all of her household chores and needs. I decided that this was my vocation and have since looked after a variety of people with the same level of devotion.

I have cared for the elderly as well as young people with severe levels of disability. I pride myself in delivering a professional yet personable flexible service.

I’m here to assist you however I can.

Having spent 3 years working in care, specialising in learning disabilities, autism/Asperger’s, mental health issues and physical disabilities, I have taken the decision to move away from the corporate care market, allowing me to provide a truly bespoke care service for my clients. I am happy to try new techniques and on occasion, unorthodox methods to allow my customers to move nearer to their potential and improve all aspects of their daily and future lives.
My services include assistance to access the community and/or a range of physical activities including on days trips and holidays. More information can be found on my website, www.carecraftsupport.com

I am a very caring friendly person, trustworthy, honest, with a sense of humour. I’m understanding and a great listener.  If you are looking for someone to help with your day to day needs, or just need someone to have a little company with, I would love to help. I have my own lovely family, a husband and three children that I adore. We love to go for walks and spending quality time together. I have over 15 years experience in customer service.

Well... I am a 40-something year old family man who has over 25 years in the nursing sector working amongst different ages, abilities and levels of need.

I am very hard working and love problem solving and have a lot of drive and determination in anything I do. I am an easy going laid back person with a dry sense of humour. I have completed many different courses in my time which I believe has assisted me in being to work and deal with all kinds of people. I am physically fit and do not shy away from hard graft.

My greatest love is doing d.i.y where I have undertaken many different large projects within my home and other peoples. I am able to turn my hand to most tasks, both large and small, to a high standard even though I am not a professional in any one given field.

I have two large dogs which I get great pleasure in owning and a very well balanced family of whom I am also very proud.

I enjoy many different films but like good period dramas and thrillers. I don't like watching sport but will participate in anything. I am a confident person who is able to use discretion and diplomacy when required.

I also love food and sometimes mess around in the kitchen when time allows.
