Worried about Mum or Dad living on their own?
Wishing you could be there more often?
Three things for your peace of mind
Hello, I’m Ena
First, you will just have me at your door, not a different carer each time and I’m a local of the Eastern Suburbs of Christchurch.
Second, after many years work as a Registered nurse, I can take you or your family member to appointments with health professionals, sit in at the consult (if you want) and can then help you keep track of medication and keep your family in the loop as required.
Third, I’m a trusted professional, police vetted, with decades of nursing experience in a variety of health settings.
How I can help
- Companionship, outings and walks
- Warm company and moral support at appointments
- Light household help
- Guidance with assisted living options if that time comes
A little bit about me.

I have extensive past experience as a Practice Nurse, worked in Aged care as a Registered Nurse and worked as an Ear Nurse at the Ear Hygiene Clinic in Ferrymead.
I decided it was time for a change but still wanted to continue to work locally using my knowledge and experience. As a nurse, I’ve always enjoyed making a difference to people’s lives.
I know what it was like to have elderly parents. This is a bespoke service offering companionship and care to lonely or isolated elderly.
It may be that you already have some help in your home, whether it be the neighbour, a volunteer from an organisation, or some funded help, e.g. health organisation. But maybe it’s not enough, or maybe you don’t like to ask for help beyond what is funded or because you think it might be too much bother for your helpers. This is where I can help you.
Give me a call and we can talk about what you might need.
