I help carers to build the confidence and clarity to go out, take the leap and create their very own thriving self employed care business. 

I’m a mum to two little boys, the Founder and CEO of the Professional Carers Network, a Self Employed Carer and Your Carer Coach!  And I’m here to help you every step of the way on your new business journey.

After establishing my own self employed care service over 4 years ago, I have seen my care service thrive.  I work alongside my friend Cheryl, and we have been inundated with work since getting started, we turn work away on a weekly basis!  There is no big secret as to why, we are simply amazing at what we do!  We provide high quality flexible care tailored to the individual and their wishes and wants, not just their needs.

But I’m no better than many many carers out there.  There are so many truly gifted and caring people working in the care industry that are stuck in low paying, dead end jobs, working long hours delivering an overstretched service, and they simply don’t know they can work for themselves.  They don’t know, there is a better way.  They don’t know that they too, could have a thriving business!

I’ve now helped over 100 carers to take the leap and go self employed and they have never been happier!  So I’ve put all that business building knowledge into a step by step course, the Carepreneur Academy!  Along the way of building my own business and then helping 100 more people do the same, I’ve learnt the little nuances that make a good business a great business.  Here’s your chance to learn from others that have done it before you, benefit from my mistakes and learning, so you don’t have to guess and worry, you can thrive straight away!

Imagine finishing each and every day of work knowing you truly had provided the best care possible and excited to go back the next day to see your lovely clients!  And being well rewarded for the fabulous job that you do! 

Care can be a great career.  Being self employed, owning your own business, being your own boss, is the way we make care a career worth entering the industry for!  And we will be here to champion you every step of the way!

Sometimes when launching a business, you have to have the timing of an idea just right.  Well let me tell you, the timing for self employed caring is absolutely NOW!

There is currently a care crisis!  People are living longer, medical advances have been huge over the past years and people are having to use a care system that is still stuck in the old ways of delivering care.  The current care system is simply not designed to help this many people.  But equally peoples expectations and standards of care are also changing.  When people pay for a service, the customer expects top quality service and to be able to have a say in the way their care is delivered.  People do not want to be squished into a care package or shoved in a home.  They want to be able to control their own care in their own home and say who helps them with their needs, wishes and wants.

This is why it is the absolute perfect time to become a self employed carer!  The self employed carer can tailor each care package to the individual, they can be flexible and can actually have time to build true relationships with the people they support.  Bringing real meaning to person centred care.

Yes we have talked about how the care can improve for your customers.  But what about you as the carer? This is where it gets really fun!

So as a self employed carer you will be better rewarded for doing a job well done!  And it doesn’t cost your care client any extra, they still pay the standard rates for care.  But because that care money doesn’t have to filter into a massive organisation, you are able to pay yourself a decent wage.

Yes you need to put some away for tax, and we recommend hiring an accountant and of course joining the Professional Carers Network.  But even with those costs, it is still a fraction of what it would cost you to be an employee.  So yes, being a self employed carer is actually really good pay!  Which means you don’t have to work every hour under the sun, it means you can have time to do the things that light you up, time to enjoy hobbies or spend time with your family.  But crucially it also means that the person who needs care gets a happy carer.  Not an overworked carer.  A carer that has the time and energy to truly deliver excellent care.

You become your own boss, you work hours that suits your lifestyle, all your hard work goes into building your own reputation and it is actually really good fun!

Whilst it is true you can be a self employed carer all on your own. You can try and figure out everything on your own hoping you don’t make too many costly mistakes.  You can go searching all over the internet for advice, asking friends, piecing bits and pieces together as you go.   It can be slow and frustrating, but totally doable.

But why bother doing it on your own when you don’t have too?!  We’ve got you covered, we’ve researched and used everything you need to know.  We’ve sourced everything you need to run your reputable and thriving business.  And we have the supportive community behind us to cheer you on every step of the way!  Let us do this with you and we will make you everyone’s favourite self employed carer!
