Delmorine
| For the past fifteen years, I have worked as a care professional for the local authority, care agencies and for private individuals. During my employment, I have developed a broad set of skills and a knowledge base that helps me to understand vulnerable people and meet their needs, recently updated training on dementia and Alzheimer's. I also hold the new Care Certificate, and train other carers on it, so am certainly up to date with the latest in best practice. My experience has taught me to manage various medical and operational situations professionally and efficiently, using my knowledge and any available resources. I am also very focused on safety and risk, something that I actively manage and improve on constantly, in line with guidance my own experience of the service user and their situation. I have a good sense of humour, great companion, and I am a good listener which helps me to communicate at all levels. I am confident and able to manage challenging or difficult behaviour, something my practice as a teacher has helped me hone. Most importantly, I have a helpful attitude, good team working skills and I am always prepared to give that extra effort, which always makes a difference. I have a readily available DBS.

Care with communication, attention to detail, multitasking,flexibility, problem-solving, knowledge
| 1. Compassion and Empathy: The ability to understand and empathize with the elderly is essential. I have a compassionate heart and a listening ear to be able to provide the best care possible. 2. Patience: Caring for the elderly can sometimes be challenging, especially when dealing with those who have dementia or Alzheimer's. Patience is crucial in such situations. I deal elders with patience. 3. Good Communication Skills: Effective communication between the caregivers and the elderly person is critical. I'm able to communicate clearly and effectively to ensure the elderly person's needs are met. 4. Attention to Detail: Elderly people often require specific care needs, and caregivers must be attentive to these needs. I give Attention to each detail in ensuring that the elderly person's needs are met. 5. Ability to Multitask: Caregivers often need to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. My ability to multitask ensures you that all the needs of the elderly person would be met. 6. Physical Stamina: Caregiving can be physically demanding, and caregivers must be able to handle the physical demands of the job. 7. Flexibility: Elderly care needs can be unpredictable, and I'm flexible in their approach to caregiving.
