Hi, I’m Dani.  I am a trained Social Worker and worked for over 14 years for national children’s charities. After leaving this sector I looked after my father-in-law for two years at our home, and seeing how important personalised care is, I decided to set up my enterprise called Taking Care Services. I also worked for Newcross Healthcare Solutions to gain more experience and to receive relevant professional training. One key experience I had with my father-in-law was, that taking enough time to carry out the task at hand was essential to ensure that he felt comfortable while receiving the right care. It is important to me that you let me know what you need and that together we agree on how you want to be supported.

I can support you with

– Respite for family members who may need a break
– Personal care
– Company and companionship
– Transport to appointments or other locations
– Cooking and meal preparation
– Domestic tasks around the home
– Help with admin and computers
– And all kinds of other things!

You can be assured that

– I will carry out a detailed assessment, provide a support plan and an agreed contract for every client
– References and evidence of training, and qualifications are available in my portfolio
– I am fully insured with an enhanced DBS check in place
– I am compliant with all data protection regulations
– I have good local knowledge and access to other care networks in the South Hams that enable me to seek support when required
– Prices are fair and invoices will always be clear and easy to understand
