ABOUT ME:
Honest, caring, reliable and professional. I live in Newport, so am conveniently based to offer support Island-wide. I am a car driver and animal lover, with wide experience of care in the community, having worked at the Earl Mountbatten Hospice, See Ability and Age UK. I have also been involved with the Pets As Therapy charity. I am DBS checked and have Public Liability Insurance. ABOUT YOU:
Whether you are not as sprightly as you once were, need a helping hand with day-to-day activities or would just like some company, it would be a pleasure to come and see you and discuss what you would like and how I can help. Meal Preparation
Light meals - breakfast, lunch or dinner - prepared and cooked in your own kitchen at times to suit you. Bed-making & Light Housework
Avoid the struggle with heavy duvet covers by letting me put on the clean bedding. Dusting and vacuuming also available. Shopping
I can help you to do your weekly shop or we can write your list together and I'll do the shopping for you, at the shops you prefer. Laundry & Ironing
I can provide laundry and ironing services, doing it all in your own home. Dog Walking/Sitting
I can take your best friend for a walk when you are unable to. The dog will be kept on the lead at all times. If you prefer not leaving your dog alone when you have to go out, I can come and sit with them so you don't have to rush home! Home Management
I can organise your household paperwork and ensure that your bills are paid on time, assist with filing, reading the post and doing any correspondence or telephone calls you require. Chaperone Service
Do you need some assistance or moral support when going out and about? I can accompany you on trips to the bank, post office, hairdresser, medical appointments, coffee with friends, etc. Companionship
Do you like reminiscing about the past, playing cards, pottering in the garden or watching a movie? Some things can be so much more enjoyable when you can share the experience. Going Out
Whether its a walk in the park, stroll along the beach, attending a social activity or visiting friends, having someone by your side can often make a difference to you getting out and about. Light Gardening
I might not be Alan Titchmarsh - however, I can mow your lawn, plant up containers and do some weeding so your garden looks neat and tidy - or we can do some gardening together! All services are charged at £12 per hour. Any trips out-of-area are chargeable at 45p per mile. Please note that I do not provide personal care.

Wow what a busy time I am having and I am pleased to say its all good news. I have several new clients and every day is different, I do feel like I am making a difference to peoples lives which is why I started this business in the first place and I love it. I found out today one of my clients is moving abroad and although it is the right move for her to be closer to family, I am going to miss her, I have got attached to each and every one of them!

Well I'm pleased to share I had 3 new clients last week and I am meeting another possible new client this week. When you visit someone who needs help you are entering their personal space and by the end of the visit you can see they have relaxed, it's great when they ask you back .....that feels like a job well done!!

Wow what a mad week I've had. Spent 4 1/2 hours with one client and had a massive clear out session, he was so very pleased with the outcome, we then we went furniture shopping so that he has more storage space to put all the new clothes in that he's going to buy :-) For some it's easy to fill a black sack of unwanted clothes, pop it in the car and take to the charity shop....... not so easy when you are disabled, but that's all sorted now and hopefully someone else will benefit from his donations :-) Then had 2 emergency calls asking if I could do some cleaning for a client home from hospital and another for some much needed shopping...... I love my job :-)

Got woken up with a phone call from one of my clients this morning asking if I could do that "emergency shop" due to her feeling rubbish and needing some food in the freezer. I love the fact I can take the worry away for her, when we take it for granted we can just get in the car and pop to the shops!

The New Year has got off to a good start with some new clients which I am really happy about. Having clients say "I'm so pleased you came into our lives" and "I wish you were my daughter" makes me really proud I'm making a difference to peoples lives........

Saw another new client today, is this really work!?! spending time with lovely people and hopefully making a difference to their independent daily living, I am loving this new phase in my life :-)

Had a lovely couple of hours with my new client today hoovering, dusting, washing floors, changing her bed and a nice chat, she is looking forward to seeing me next week :-)

Had a lovely meeting with a new client this week, she wasn't sure how I could help so I suggested I popped in for a chat, after an enjoyable 30 minutes she decided it was worth a try!!!! Really looking forward to supporting her from next week :)

Hi everyone, as you can see I have started my new business which I am passionate about in making a difference to peoples quality of life, whilst staying in their own homes and remaining as independent as possible.
I would be very grateful if you could share with anyone you feel I may be able to help....... thank you :-)
