I have worked in social care for just over 5 years, mostly agency work but also helped care for my mother until she unfortunately passed away. Prior to this I was a hairdresser. I have always loved working with people, helping them feel good about themselves. I now care for my father and when I have free time I enjoy walking my dog. I am also interested in art and music

Hi, I’m Maya. New to being a PA, I'm passionate about working in H&SC. I have found my medical history helps form strong connections with neuroatypical individuals and those with mobility/physical needs. I enjoy socialising and exploring new hobbies — arts/crafts, enjoying the outdoors and appreciating nerdier moments with films and books.
Hello, I’m Louise, a local carer with over 20 years of experience supporting vulnerable adults and the elderly. I’ve also spent time volunteering with the Red Cross, which has given me valuable skills and insights into care.
My approach is centred around each individual, understanding that every client has unique needs and goals. I work closely with clients, their families, and local healthcare professionals to build strong, trusting relationships and achieve the best outcomes.
I am a 45 year old female working in the Hastings area. I have recently started my role as a self-employed PA after working for a local insurance company in their fraud department for 13 years. I love meeting new people and learning new skills constantly.
I am very fit and go to the gym 4 to 5 times a week as well as always being out and about with my dogs and also enjoy spending time with my family.
I am very happy to take clients on short/long walks as I love our countryside. Also to social events organized in Eastbourne. I am also happy to help with any paperworks to the best of my ability as in Poland (my birth country) I studied as a accountant. Also happy to help with important GP/Hospital Visits. I speak fluent Polish so would be happy to have a conversation with you in Polish if you prefer!
I enjoy reading books, attending social events, spending time outside especially taking long walks, skiing, I enjoy exercising. I also enjoy activities at home such as puzzles and games and tv shows.
I am a fun, bubbly PA looking for some more clients to fit in around running my own business! I’m a pet sitter/dog walker and love animals as well as helping others. I don’t drive and understand this may be a requirement of the role but if you are open to a non driver I’m more than happy to utilise other options!
I have varying availability but please contact me and we can see if I would be a good fit :)
I have worked in social care on and off most of my adult life. From Nursing homes to private homes. I grew up in various adult social care settings Psychiatric Clinics, residential care homes and a residential home for people suffering mental health. Also Hellingly Hospital as my parents were RMNs.
Also I have worked as a passenger assistant for a taxi company taking SEND children to school and home and for children in the care system.
I love caring for people and assisting to make lives easier. Whether it be some personal care, cleaning, organising or shopping.
The best care I did was having the privilege to care for my gran in the last few months of her life, being able to pay her back for the love and support she’d shown me through my life. It was an absolute honour that I will treasure.
My motivation is being able to see people able to live independently and thrive.
In my own time I love gardening, DIY, spending time with my family and friends.
