I have over ten experience working in the care sector. I love helping others. My best attributes are working well with others and making people feel at ease and be none judgmental regardless of situation or background. Communication is the heart of my job, so I have learnt to implement excellent communication and listen skills.

It is such a pleasure working with Karen. She has cared for my elderly father, who has Alzheimers & supported my mother at home, who has Lymphoma for the past year.
Karen has the most gentle, kind, patient personality but also has a wonderful sense of humour which is much needed when things get tough.
Nothing is too much trouble and i cannot recommend her highly enough. She has given the whole family piece of mind when we are not able to be with our parents all the time.
