Cressida
I am Cressida Lewis –I am a self employed carer offering a live-in carer service. A companion/caring service enabling people to remain independent within the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Having cared for an elderly lady for six years, taking her for country lane drives, or trips out for tea and cake, cooking meals from scratch, using her 45 year old aga, and if she wanted to have her friends over, I cooked and baked cakes and hosted the visitors for her. As her mobility reduced my role changed, becoming her carer. I bought her books to read, chocolate to eat, baked her cakes and got her CDs of her favourite music and also audio books. Helping with her personal care and more importantly making her laugh. Over the seven years she became a big part of my life, so much so that I am considered one of the family. The family trusted me, and had peace of mind that their beloved mother was well cared for and safe in the comfort and familiarity of her own home when they were not around. Even after the passing of Mrs Knight – I am still in touch with her family and receive constant reminders and thanks for all I did for her.
