About Me:

Please see my website www.tonycare.co.uk/aboutus and www.tonycare.co.uk My name is Joanna, I work in St.Albans, Hertfordshire, and I dedicate every minute I care to my wonderful dad Tony who is shining on me from heaven. I cared for him for many years until he died in 2024. Now I am available to help anyone else in my community who needs support. I know how hard it can be as an unpaid carer to find trustworthy home care and how difficult it can be for people with Parkinson’s to live a full life without the right caregivers. Also, if you get in touch with me on 07349 306 919 you are not only meeting with me, if I am not the perfect match for your needs I can also recommend another lovely carer with the same qualifications in the local area, we work together.

Interests

Food: Everything, anything! But I’m a bit of a wimp when it comes to spicy food and will prefer mild curries.

Music: A very wide range and none of it is trendy or in the charts at the moment. I love Perry Como because he reminds me of my dad and 90s dance music because I’m still at a school disco in my heart :)

TV: Addicted to eastenders and ridiculous romantic K-dramas.

Films: I did my degree on English and film studies, the list is far too long. My dissertation was about Jackie Chan and Buster Keaton.

Books: Discworld is fun to escape into.

Days Out: I love the theatre and always up for seeing Shakespeare on stage. Member of local am-dram group.

Other Interests: I make cards and can do craft sessions with clients. I love watching football and snooker
