🎄 This is what’s on the other side of the camera as I walk into my clients’ homes Christmas carolling, ready to make them smile 🎄🩷
Festive hat on, Christmas lights round the neck, and a big smile because this job fills my heart every single day 🥰
I’ve created a wee TikTok page Caring Services to share my Christmas carolling videos. Don’t worry, they’ll still be posted on here too 🤪
But wow… they’ve went a bit viral!!
One video alone has hit 58.3k views, with hundreds of likes, comments and shares. It’s honestly mind blowing 🥹✨

If sharing my day to day, making people laugh, and spreading a bit of joy helps me earn even an extra penny towards my dream care home, then why not 💭
I’ll be sharing Q&A’s, day in the life of a private carer, and as much as I can along the way.
At the heart of everything I do, I’m trying to make a change and flip the narrative around care.
I don’t want people to dread needing looked after. I want them to look forward to it, to feel safe, respected, and genuinely cared for 💗
💡 Thursday morning reminder
Not many people know this. If the council has assessed you or a loved one and provides funding for care at home, you don’t have to accept council arranged care.
In Aberdeenshire this is called SDS (Self Directed Support) and it allows you to choose your own private carer/s and use that funding towards their care instead.
Always worth asking what your options are🥰
There are SO many incredible carers working their socks off while the person at the top gets paid the most.
Going self employed has inspired others, and I’ve had hundreds of carers reach out who are now considering the same. I’m always more than happy to help in any way I can 💗
🥰 Please support private carers
🙏 Always remember to ask to see a PVG
So many carers within care companies and agencies are tied up in red tape, unable to care the way they want to, because too often it’s money first, care second.
Walking into my clients’ homes Christmas carolling and knowing I’ve made every single one laugh… that’s everything to me 🎶😂
Everyone deserves a good laugh.
Thank you, always, to everyone who supports me, my clients, and their families.
I truly couldn’t do this without you all 🩷
Lots of love,
Lauren
