In care.
Qualified care worker (Italian OSS) with over ten years alongside the elderly, people with disabilities and people with addictions. I’m self-employed so I can give every person the time and attention they deserve. As a first responder, I bring the clarity of emergency work into everyday care.

Before it was a job, care was my life.
For eight years I cared for a loved one every day. It taught me what no course can: reading unspoken needs, handling fatigue, being there consistently even at the hardest times. I’m a father of two, and I bring that sense of responsibility to every shift.

How I can help.
I work with cooperatives, care homes, rescue associations and families, with agreed weekly availability.
Home care
Personal hygiene, mobility support, oral medication, accompaniment and cognitive stimulation, with regular reports to the family.
Ambulance and first aid
First responder shifts on basic life support ambulances, patient transport and medical cover at events.
Trips and travel
Continuous care during holidays, trips and stays away from home, even for weeks.
Urgent cover
Sudden staff absences or family emergencies: I can step in at short notice.
Addiction and mental health
Experience in therapeutic communities: a non-judgemental approach and support through recovery.
Where time really matters.
Alongside care work I serve as a first responder, including nights and holidays. It isn’t a separate job: it’s the same skill set, taken where reaction time makes the difference.
