My passion and determination to become a qualified nurse started as a young child. After leaving school in 1998 I secured a health care assistant post within a nursing home. My career started here and with 2 years of caring experience I secured a place to complete my nurses training and qualified 3 years later.

During my nursing training, I also held down a part time job as a domiciliary carer within my local community; delivering care to those who needed it within their own homes, supporting them to remain as independent as possible with my assistant to live their life as happy as they could.

Once qualified I took up a Community nursing post locally and within a few years and a number of courses behind me to extend my knowledge and skill set I took on a senior nurse role.

In 2015, I undertook the 1-year full time Specialist District Nursing course (BSc). This course consisted of many different modules from appraising the practice population needs to leadership and prescribing seeing me became a more advanced practitioner.

I have since then worked within a Specialist nursing role, managing the District nursing service.

I have completed many more modules at master’s level to extend and add to my nursing knowledge and skill set, these being within the field of Tissue viability, Leg Ulcer management and more recently Philosophies of Medical and Healthcare Education.

My commitment and passion to my nursing career has and will always be my priority, I will continue to drive change and innovation to ensure the care delivered is high quality and meeting the needs of the practice population.

After nursing many people within my professional career, I have also nursed 2 of my Grandparents alongside my family members, with me being the main professional voice in the care required to meet their preferred prioritise of care I feel I have much more to give.

It is these experiences that have encouraged both me and my sister to take on a new challenge and set up our own domiciliary care company. We are both committed to delivering high standards of care to ensure those requiring support to live independently within their own home, receiving it from the right person at the right time.

In 2015 my nan was diagnosed with terminal cancer and she rapidly deteriorated and became end of life. As a family we wanted to ensure our nans wish, which was to remain in her own home till the end was upheld. Our family, my mum and 3 sisters took it in turns to ensure around our families and working life to make sure she had someone with her 24/7.

Two of my sisters had always worked within the health & social care setting, I was not going to put my lack of experience down to stop me from being by my nans side and ensuring we carried out her wish. I felt this was something I could give back to my nan after the years of love, respect, and encouragement that she gave me. I was honoured to be able to help her through the last days of her life.

2017 saw a repeat of 2015 when I took on the care for my other grandparent. My Grandmothers health started to deteriorate, she lived a 100 miles round trip away, and after a few weeks of travelling back and forth to care for her and a number of hospital stays due to falls, her health continued to decline, and she required 24 hour care. She wanted to be cared for by her family therefore decided to move in with me to ensure her wish was met.

Due to her health condition and poor mobility being left for long periods was out of the question, so I handed in my notice from my employment and became her full-time career. This included me supporting her with all her daily living actives such as washing, toileting and getting out to enjoy what she loved most…. Looking round a garden centre when her health allowed her too.

After a few months with her health continuing to decline she took to her bed 24 hours a day with little periods of being awake, I had to nurse her in bed.

With the help from my sister, I learnt the importance of pressure area awareness and the need to for regular repositioning to check my grandmother’s skin integrity to avoid any skin damage due to being bedbound.

Again, I felt a great sense of honour and achievement in the months caring for my grandmother who died peacefully with me and my sister at her bedside. This showed me a new direction in life, which I was insistence on following.

I knew this was the carer that I wanted. I found a lady that was looking for a personal assistant and my care role continued as I took on the role of helping her maintain her independence at home while having always lived with her long-term condition cerebral palsy.

I continued to offer care and support to those who require it and have built up a small client base. My client base today sees me delivering supportive care to enable all my clients to maintain their independence as much as possible to remain living within their own homes.
