About Me
Hi, I’m Amber!
I’ve lived in Weston-super-Mare for most of my life, and over the years I’ve gained a wealth of experience working in the care industry. I spent 5 years in residential care and a further 8 years in the NHS, supporting people and seeing first-hand how much difference the right care and companionship can make. Working closely with patients and residents, I often noticed that not everyone has family or friends nearby and how much that can affect wellbeing and quality of life, it showed me that even small acts of care and kindness can make a big difference.
Through my work I’ve supported people with many different needs, including mental health, dementia, learning disabilities, autism and general care for older adults. I’ve also worked across many different departments within the NHS which has given me a broad range of experience. Although I’ve worked with a wide variety of people I’ve always particularly enjoyed supporting older adults, which inspired me to start Home Support Somerset. I enjoy helping people in a way that feels personal and relaxed and I like knowing I can make a difference in someone’s day. I’m down to earth, I’ve got a good sense of humour and I enjoy getting to know the people I support. A friendly, easy-going approach just makes visits nicer for everyone.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my cocker spaniel, going on walks, road trips, camping, cooking and baking, and doing crafts like crochet. I also enjoy exploring new places and spending quality time with my family.
Starting my own business in the care industry lets me use my experience and skills to help people stay independent at home. I feel lucky to be able to make a difference for both clients and their families, and every day I continue to learn and grow from the people I support.
