Hi, I am Doh,

Since I was young, I have always enjoyed helping others. I remember when my grandmother was very ill for a long time, and I was the one who stayed close to her, feeding her, cleaning her, and simply sitting beside her so she wouldn’t feel alone. I felt devastated when she died, yet I was fulfilled that I was with her. Then I was with my dad in the same situation, seeing him go through pain, and knowing I could care for him and make him feel loved was my greatest blessing. That experience touched my heart deeply, and from that moment, I knew that caring for others was my calling.

My main motivation for joining Care Support is to help people feel seen, valued, and cared for. I genuinely believe that everyone, regardless of their age or condition, deserves to be treated with dignity and love. That belief drives me every day to give my best.

Working in care support has also enhanced my own well-being. It provides me with a strong sense of purpose and inner peace. When I see someone smile because of something I did, it also heals my heart. I feel fulfilled, and I have learned to be more patient, compassionate, and calm, even under pressure.

For me, this is not just a job; it’s a way to spread love and bring light into the lives of people who need it most.

Hi, my name is Zainab. I joined Caring Connections in March 2024. I have really enjoyed the journey I have been on during my time here. I started as a care worker supporting clients within the community. I love getting to know people and I will always do everything in my power to ensure all of our clients' needs are met. I find comfort in knowing the care I deliver helps vulnerable people be at home independently, as many memories are made within our clients' homes. I enjoy learning all about everyone's past and what they really enjoy talking about for when I next visit.

I have recently progressed within my role to now being Care Co-Ordinator, I ensure that I will always support all of the care workers working within the field and I am always an ear to listen if they are struggling ensuring to find a solution going forward.

I work closely with the local authorities to ensure all of our clients are being supported as per their individual needs.

I am really looking forward to more success within my role in the future.

Hi, I'm Trevor. I joined Caring Connections a couple of years ago now.
I have built key relationships with clients and family members across the Ellesmere Port and Eastham area within this time frame. I always strive to go above and beyond to ensure all clients' needs are met, even if it's something as little as taking somebody to the corner shop for their newspaper. It is important to me, where possible, to promote independence.

I have progressed within my role, and I am currently a Senior Care Worker; I work hard to be there for fellow care workers and do my best to ensure they are equipped with the right knowledge to support all of our clients.

Hi, I am Mustaqim. I am a dedicated carer with Caring Connections at the Wirral branch. I absolutely love what I do! It's incredibly rewarding to be part of such a supportive company that truly values its clients. I find immense joy in building meaningful connections and making a positive difference in the lives of the wonderful individuals I have the privilege to care for every day.

I’m Valentine, and I’ve been working in care for the past two years. It’s been an incredible journey, one that continues to shape me both personally and professionally.

I joined Caring Connections in March 2025, and it has quickly become a second home. For me, caring is as natural as breathing. Supporting people with diverse needs gives me a deep sense of purpose and fulfilment. Every day is not just work, it’s a chance to grow, learn, and make a positive impact. Since joining, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some truly amazing staff and clients. I’m proud to be part of this team. Wirral Care is the best.
