🌟 Meet Emily! 🌟

We’re excited to introduce you to one of our fantastic team members here at Peninsula Care — Emily! 😊

Emily has been with us since September 2021 and currently serves as our Care Coordinator for the Ards, Comber, and Holywood areas. She initially joined us as a Care Assistant, working in nursing homes and care settings since 2017, bringing a wealth of experience and compassion to her role. 💙

During her time with us, Emily achieved her Level 2 Health & Social Care qualification and was awarded Learner of the Year at our Heart of Peninsula Care Awards last year — congratulations, Emily! 🏆✨

In the last three months, Emily has taken on the role of Care Coordinator, putting her qualifications to great use as she is now completing her Level 3 in Social Care. Her dedication and passion truly shine through! 🌟

Beyond work, Emily is a proud mum of two boys. She loves spending time in the Mournes with her family, taking them to rugby practice, and enjoying the great outdoors. 🌄🏉 She’s also a big fan of Christmas movies — especially The Holiday — and loves reading almost every night. When she's not relaxing with a good book, she enjoys soap operas and listening to country music. 🎶📚

Her favorite food? Pasta! 🍝

We’re proud to have Emily as part of our team, bringing kindness, dedication, and a caring spirit every day.

Today we had a very special visitor in the office… meet Digger! He’s only 4 months old but already nearly half the height of Jonny 😅 We’ve been debating who’s rocking the better smile – Digger or Jonny?

But since Jonny is the boss (and we don’t want to hurt his feelings 😉), we’ve agreed that both boys win for their amazing smiles 😍✨
