The pandemic has significantly changed the lives of carers. Many support organisations have cancelled certain activities and, to reduce the risk of infection, some visits by care workers and friends have stopped. In this way, much of what previously gave carers short breaks has disappeared. Now, more than ever, carers benefit from knowing how to arrange things well so as to enjoy the time they spend with their carees and by themselves.

Annette Merrick has looked after relatives with serious medical conditions for over 20 years whilst bringing up her family and juggling a busy workload. Having worked in large companies and small start-up businesses, now as a professional Caregiving Coach she uses this experience to help people who provide care for their family and friends, so that they can build themselves a better quality of life – whether they are combining caring with employment or have caring as a full-time commitment.
When does How to Enjoy More 'You Time' as a Carer start?
The great thing about online video courses is you can do them whenever you have internet access. You can choose the pace and the place of your training and, because each of our videos are short, they're easy to watch in between the other calls on your time.
Is this course the same as the First Part of your Juggling Care and Catching the Smiles Course?
They are almost the same apart from a few minor alterations which have been made so that How to Enjoy More 'You Time' as a Carer can be a stand-alone course.
We offer this in recognition that we are all different - some people want to dive into the whole of Juggling Care and Catching the Smiles to give their caregiving situation a well-planned makeover, and others prefer to start with a shorter course. Those who choose How to Enjoy More 'You Time' as a Carer will, on completion, have the opportunity to buy the remaining Parts Two, Three and Four of Juggling Care and Catching the Smiles.
Regardless of which route you choose, apart from a small administrative charge to cover the two-stage purchase, the overall price of buying Parts One - Four is the same.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
Our aim is to provide you with a great opportunity to make your caring situation the best you can and, with commitment on your part, we hope your feedback will be as positive as the comments on our Testimonials page. However, if you were unhappy with the course content, we offer a 30-day money back refund - all we ask is that you give us a fair chance to resolve any issue you think you have about this online learning by raising it with us as soon as possible (preferably within 23 days of having enrolled), using our website’s link to contact us.
