Jo Webb

My name is Jo, I am 31 years old and I have cared for the elderly since my teenage years, and then again after 22 years raising six children, two of whom were fostered. I have worked in care homes, hospitals, nursing homes, private individual care and working for the social services as a mobile carer travelling to people in their own homes. I have always been aware and passionate about all groups of vulnerable people but have always felt that the elderly are a special group of people with very special needs as they have been here the longest and deserve everything good. I love helping them in every way I can and communicating with them..
