She’s worked in care for over 20 years supporting people in their own homes, in supported living, and in nursing homes.

In her spare time Elizabeth enjoys reading, listening to podcasts, and cooking.
“When I grow old and need a carer, I would choose Elizabeth”
If you had to describe Elizabeth in just three words, what would they be?
Kind, caring and hardworking.
“When I grow old and need a carer, I would choose Elizabeth. Kind hearted and hardworking, she goes above and beyond every task. We were working together to look after an amazing man and Elizabeth cares not only for him but also took care of me when I was unwell. This amazing woman is so kind and funny and friendly it makes placement so easy and joyful. Love you Lizzy.
We’ve been working together since September and our client has been unwell. Elizabeth reacts fast and responsive to every need of a client, careful with medications and phoned the ambulance when we ran out of abilities to provide best care possible.”
