Hi, I’m
Abigail Barnett
Kinmel Bay,Conwy
Summary
I am a caring and enthusiastic person who loves looking after people, I have had four young children between working in care and now that they are getting slightly older i am looking forward to start my career in Hospital which is what i have always wanted to do since being young. I have had lots of experience in caring for people with Dementia, disabilities and other illnesses including terminal illnesses and offered the families ongoing support throughout this time.
I am hardworking and always need to be busy and i am always ready to help people when they are in need. I am highly self motivated and have ran the London Marathon for Charity in 2022 and i am always looking forward to my next challenge.
I do have an ability to handle multiple tasks at the same time and believe that my lifestyle has taught me how to do this whilst having a busy household and also looking after a family member with a muscular disability.
I can remain calm in emergency situations and tend not to panic but stay focused on what needs to happen. I have always maintained excellent levels of patient care and i am committed to working safely and maintain Clients privacy.
