Meet Mamusu our Live In Care Assistant
Hi my name is Mamusu, I applied for a full-time job in east London in domiciliary care, I could not believe how rewarding this job was, to be part of a customer’s life, providing them with support to live independently in their own home and having as many laughs where possible along the way, adding real value back in their lives. I wanted to move onto the next level, so I decided to become a live-in carer. I have never felt such great support from a company, I do not feel alone. Being caring can’t be handed down or taught like a mother teaching a new skill in the kitchen, it is much deeper, caring is in my blood.
Bluebird Care Mid Essex is incredibly family orientated, I guess because they are a family run business and understand you have a life outside work, Last year, they organised a zoom party for their staff's children, right at the start of the pandemic, most of us along children was isolating, we played a 'Treasure Hunt, 'Simon Says' and the 'Pin the Beak on the Bluebird', all from the comfort of our home, as the restrictions lifted, Bluebird Care organised an 'Easter Egg Hunt' at our local park, the children absolutely loved the fun, and coming up, they have organised a beach party with lots of games for our customers, staff and families, then there's Christmas coming!
