I used to work for a big domiciliary care agency and stepped away after 6 years as I felt as a private individual I could offer more to the family, in terms of both care & support for the entire household. I also found that dealing with a family directly instead of going through all of these channels with an office team made a huge difference all for the better.

She was key carers for my mum and she set a very high standard for the others to follow. My dad absolutely loved her, and only wanted her to come! With mum she was gentle, kind, encouraging and loving. Sammie was one of the few carers that came into our home whom we could trust entirely to do what was necessary. We never needed to oversee what she did or how she did it. She is extremely proactive and very hardworking. I trusted her with the most valuable thing I have, my mum, and she never let us down. Sammie always put mum first, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her. Kind regards Mandana 17 Fryth Mead St Albans Herts AL3 4TN To Whom it May Concern, Re: Samantha I am happy to furnish a reference for this lovely young woman who has been an excellent carer for my husband, Professor David Smallbone who has Parkinson’s disease of some seven years duration. We have employed Sammie since Mon 27 Aug and in that space of time she has worked 7 days a week, early morning and late evenings. Sammie always keeps good time, has never let us down, has been unfailingly cheerful and extremely hardworking. Sammie is the kind of carer who is an asset to the whole household because she will fill and empty dishwasher, put on washing, do ironing, make and change beds, make breakfast, go to the shop for milk - anything to be helpful. She keeps things spotlessly clean. My husband who was very wary of the need for a carer appreciates her cheerfulness and her attention to his wishes. She is respectful and does not patronise and now he would not be without her. For me it is no exaggeration to say she has been a life changer. I do not think we will ever find her equal and I cannot imagine anyone doing a better job. I know she has spare hours and I’m sure she can fit more in but the only thing I ask is please don’t steal her! Yours sincerely Margaret Smallbone
