About me

I'm 65 years young, married with 3 grown children and 7 grandchildren, I love family get togethers. Since leaving school I've always wanted to help and support people, to achieve their best quality of life. I feel genuine pleasure at enabling those who are unable or need assistance with various tasks.

My experience

I have over 35 years’ experience working in various roles in education and care; Nursing Homes, Palliative care, Independent Living Homes, as a Team Leader, Personal Assistant, School Senior Supervisory Teaching Assistant, Night Carer, and Senior Carer. I have also supported Dementia/Alzheimer’s clients - in care homes and the community. On a personal level, I supported my mother who had Alzheimer’s for 2years, until she died.

Testimonials

"Lesley cared for my husband and I. We found her to be an honest and hardworking woman with empathy and a caring nature."

"My family and especially my father, Jeff, had the good luck and fortune to find Lesley at a time when his health, particularly his mental health and physical ability began to deteriorate. I'll be honest and say that I struggled with him at times and Lesley was the calming, caring support that we both needed. She was always kind and compassionate and treated him with gentle care and respect, something that we both welcomed. Despite his dementia he would always look forward to her visits and she became a trusted member of our family. I cannot, personally, thank her enough and would have no hesitation in recommending her to any family."

"Lesley is a very experienced PA. She is very knowledgeable in all aspects of care, very calm and able to put both the person being cared for and relatives at ease. She is punctual and reliable, extremely professional and diligent. She has a great attitude to her role and life. We were very lucky to have Lesley's help until mum went into nursing home."

"Our mum had Alzheimer’s and she continued to live independently. Lesley offered her companionship by playing scrabble and cards with her during a two-hour period. Lesley’s visits also provided mum with stimulation, fun and an opportunity to talk about herself and about her earlier life, her hobbies, sport and the places of interest she has lived and visited during her lifetime. We always found Lesley to be reliable, professional and punctual whenever visiting mum."
