I have no hesitation in recommending Corinna. She is a highly professional carer. She has been a brilliant carer and companion for my mum for the last few months. Mum really enjoyed her visits from Corinna and will be looking forward to her visiting her in the Care Home. Corinna was always very punctual, conscientious and reliable."

Compassionate Carer: Cultivating Care and Connection for Elders
| With six years of professional caregiving experience in Scotland, I have established myself as an inherently compassionate individual. My background in domiciliary care spans a diverse array of clients, allowing me to forge meaningful connections with both those I care for and their loved ones. My empathetic and trustworthy demeanor—underpinned by patience, warmth, and a keen understanding of my clients’ aspirations and requirements—has been instrumental in cultivating exceptional relationships. My clientele has presented conditions ranging from early to late-stage dementia, Parkinson's disease, and physical disabilities to mental health challenges, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and anxiety. My expertise extends to sensitive areas such as catheter, palliative, mobility support, stoma care, and continence management. The personal care services I offer include support with dressing, bathroom needs, medication reminders, grooming, nutrition assistance, and mobility support. Prior to venturing into professional caregiving, I volunteered to look after my beloved late grandmother—a period that sparked my unwavering commitment to aiding the vulnerable.

Experienced Live-In Carer
| After working for 12 years as a mental health support worker, I decided to broaden my horizons within the social care sector. I now work as a self-employed live-in carer. I work in a person-centred way with a broad range of clients including: physical disabilities, learning disabilities, Parkinson's, dementia, mental illness, palliative care and end of life care. I provide practical and emotional support to help people live a safe and independent life in their own home and community. This includes medication administration, personal care, continence care, moving and handling using hoists and other aids, cooking, cleaning and of course companionship. I am also happy to support clients to go on holiday at home or abroad (I have a wide experience of travel all over the world) I love to travel, and am an animal lover, so pets are no problem. I am also a keen motorcyclist and enjoy cooking.

Experienced, professional & articulate carer with a nursing background and excellent references
| I have over 20yrs experience in nursing and community care. I have worked extensively with Parkinson’s, MS, dementia, frail/elderly and LD clients. I usually start with most of my clients as a care companion, building rapport and learning about who they are and what is important to them. This naturally progresses into a more therapeutic/nursing based care model as as a client requires more assistance. I have experience of managing end of life care and liaising with other health care professionals as required. I pride myself on providing an excellent, tailored service. I love the arts, music, cooking and cold water swimming. I am self employed with a current UTR code and currently have hours available.
