Carer stories
Wondering what it’s like finding and managing work with Elder? Hear from some of the self-employed carers using our platform.
People become carers for a broad range of reasons
Whether it started with supporting someone in their own family or they simply have always had a passion to help.
One of my favourite things about being a carer is the communication. I cared for a gentleman who served in the war and I learned so much.
Caring is something I have wanted to do since I can remember. I have always liked looking after elderly people, even from a young age.
My introduction to caring began when I helped to care for one of my elderly parents in the family home in Cornwall for a few more years.
