Nadia, empleada de hogar - 46001 Valencia

Ashley House Colehill Wimborne Dorset United Kingdom 28th February 2018 To whom it may concern Nadia Reference Nadia has been employed by me as Senior Carer and Housekeeper to my mother, Mrs Wendy McGhie, since 1st September 2015. My mother is aged 94 years, is disabled and is dependent on full-time care. I recruited Nadia, and she relocated from Spain to come and live with my mother in the family home. She has provided full-time care for the past two and a half years. My mother, brother and I have been very pleased with the high standard of service provided by Nadia. She has brought a highly professional and conscientious approach to her care of my mother. Nadia is very attentive to all my mother’s needs. She brings a sympathetic understanding to her work, is patient and a good listener. She has good language skills and has had no difficulty conversing with my mother. She has excellent carer skills, and is very efficient in managing my mother’s daily routine. This includes ensuring the safe transfer of my mother between bedroom and wheelchair, and in administering to my mother’s daily needs, including washing, toilet, and administering routine medication. Nadia has shown initiative in organising the care plan for my mother, to ensure that every detail is managed in a timely and professional manner. In addition, Nadia supervises the work of our part-time holiday relief carer, Kirsty, and has provided her with training to develop her skills. Nadia liaises with the local District Nurse and Occupational Therapist to ensure my mother’s medication and mobility aids continue to meet her current needs. In addition, Nadia’s duties include acting as Housekeeper to the family home. She is responsible for cooking my mother’s meals, and has ensured that my mother enjoys a healthy, balanced diet. She is highly competent at looking after a large house and I have every confidence in her ability to do the same for another household. Nadia is an intelligent, cheerful, sympathetic and approachable person, and it has been a great pleasure to have her living with us. My family will be very sorry to lose her, but we understand that she now wishes to return to live in Spain to pursue new career opportunities. I recommend Nadia as Senior Carer and Housekeeper very highly indeed. If required I would be pleased to provide further information about this reference and may be contacted at the address, telephone or email above. Yours faithfully, David McGhie

Nadia trabajo como interna ayudando a mi madre a cuidar de mi padre y a mantener la casa, incluyendo en ocasiones, tareas de reorganización de la casa y el jardín. Mi madre tenía entonces 80 años y vivía con mi padre. Mi padre era aún mayor que mi madre y por problemas de salud estuvo años en una situación de completa dependencia para comer, para levantarse de la cama, para su aseo personal, etc. Tenía reducida su movilidad y requería muchos cuidados. En este sentido, Nadia fue esencial para ayudar y acompañar a mis padres durante aquellos últimos años de mi padre. La recomendaría por su empatía, inteligencia, capacidad de trabajo e iniciativa, y, especialmente, por su don para encontrar soluciones a problemas diversos.
