Sometimes, you need a break too. Please don’t ever feel like you having a break is a bad thing. If it’s a walk, a coffee with friends who you’ve not seen in forever, some retail therapy, a glass of wine even!

You can’t use a phone/your car/yourself without battery. You can’t be 100% available all of the time. Sometimes you need to charge yourself with things you enjoy too.

I am here and can facilitate short breaks so that primary caregivers can take some, all important time for themselves. I have a full, enhanced DBS. A full, clean driving licence, L2 food hygiene, 8+ years of care experience, emergency first aid trained, references available on request and love what I do.

Please get in touch if you would like to know more. ♥️

Signs of a stroke;

Unfortunately, after a recent experience, I am sharing this in the hope that it can help even just ONE person. Please be aware… the word ‘may’ is critical. Just because a persons face doesn’t droop, just because someone can speak clearly, doesn’t mean they’re not having a stroke. If you or someone you love experiences any of the symptoms and are worried, please call 999.

Symptoms of a stroke can sometimes stop after a short time, so you may think you're OK. Even if this happens, get medical help straight away.

A stroke is more likely to happen if you're older, but it can happen at any age.

Please take care x

I have a full enhanced DBS, I have a full, clean driving license, L2 food hygiene, basic first aid, I’m fully insured with 8 years of experience. References can be provided. Please check out my page for any further information! ❤️

Week two of being back after a nasty dose of ‘the vid’ … looking forward to seeing the lovely people I work with again! These darker evenings aren’t fun, there aren’t any beautiful sunsets to discuss over a cuppa but… there are a few lovely seasonal things for us to look forward to! Here’s hoping for a fry week ahead! 🤞🏼

As all my clients are now aware, I have today, tested positive for COVID. I’ve had a headache today and not felt right, I still test weekly because the people I support are so vulnerable (due to age/medical conditions). Part of my job is to keep these wonderful people in my mind, even when I’m not working. Coming up to Christmas, this is far from ideal… however I am keeping people safe from something that could potentially be life changing to them. I saw how my nanna deteriorated and wouldn’t wish that on a single living soul. Please remember, COVID is still very much a ‘thing’. It’s not gone anywhere… if you feel unwell then please test and keep people you love safe. Xx

Cognitive development: Cooking can help keep your mind engaged and learning new things, which can help ward off cognitive decline.

From dough, to breads. We had a curry this evening and ate far too much! Cooking from scratch is great for a number of reasons but the main one I find beneficial for my clients is… Cognitive development.

I am now fully booked during the evening. Aside from a 1 hour Wednesday slot.

Hopefully in the coming months I will allocate some space in the diary for daytime appointments so if you feel you’d like to be one of these potential slots, do let me know.

Have a wonderful summer ❤️

Feeling incredibly fortunate to be able to work for a family who are so so lovely. Genuinely love what I do, and ‘thank you’ flowers are just so appreciated! (As well as the cake I got to sample on the weekend! 😂)
