Vicky M

I still love to paint and do art but I can do this alongside my caring roles. I have found that painting taught me to be patient and thoughtful, which are key skills for caring.

I spend some of my time living in Greece and I am in the UK the rest of the year. I love all kinds of animals, but especially dogs.

Vicky prides herself on her compassion and interpersonal skills. She has found these to be crucial when caring for the individuals with whom she has worked with over the past four years. Vicky has experience with caring for the elderly and individuals with memory difficulties and she specialises in working with dementia and end of life care. She is autonomous and self-directed but also strives at following care plans put in place by healthcare professionals.
Vicky is skilled at carrying out various care roles such as personal care, administration of medications, meal preparation and record keeping. Vicky is very organised and observant and tailors her care to meet the needs of the client.
“Caring has really made me a better person. Meeting so many interesting people and eventually feeling as part of the family is priceless to me.“
Vicky was employed as a carer for a lady who had vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. The client’s loved ones found Vicky to be honest, reliable, and a great communicator, both with their Mother and with the family. They were impressed by her knowledge and understanding of dementia and at her patience and empathy with their Mum. Vicky was able to manage the difficult tasks of directing and encouraging her client to do things that she is often resistant to, whilst still retaining affection.
