“I have been introduced to hobbies and interests that my clients enjoyed and I find myself still engaging in some.
I have learnt such a lot from just listening to my clients. To their amazing life experiences, stories and the knowledge and wisdom that often accompanies age. I now know that being a carer is a two way process, my life has been enriched by the relationships I have made.”
At Vita Cura, we believe in providing clients with high quality Live-in Care services that are tailored to suit their needs. Our job means a lot to us – we’re aware of the positive impact we can make on the lives of our clients, and this is why we do what we do! We’re constantly looking to expand our efforts, and we’re seeking compassionate carers.
We provide private clients with self-employed carers. If you are looking for private work and are registered self employed, please get in touch today.
“Vita Cura really took the time to get to know me and understand my personal qualities, they were so thorough every step of the way to ensure both myself and their clients received the best possible service. After speaking to them at length, they matched me with my client Pete. Pete and I got on like a house on fire from the off, we both share a love for animals, especially his cheeky dog Ellie. We also support the same football team! I am in regular contact with Vita Cura who are always there to offer support where needed, or just someone to talk to.”
