Our CareGivers

We are very proud to have a dedicated team of compassionate and reliable carers, all of who go above and beyond the call of duty to take special care of all our clients. The teams' care and commitment has now been recognised nationally, with our recent win in the Herts Care Providers Association annual awards.

Peter Neighbour - Franchise Owner

Hi, I’m Peter, owner of the Watford office of Home Instead Senior Care. Our office is based in the centre of Watford and in addition covers Rickmansworth, Bushey, Stanmore and the surrounding areas. I’m so pleased to have set up something that I am so very passionate about here in Watford. I live in Oxhey Village and have four grown up children Emma, Robert, Jack and George, who are now my good friends as well as my family and a wonderful partner Alexis, who supports me greatly.

In my spare time I enjoy cycling, so please look out for me, I will be the one struggling up the hills around here! I'm a Chartered Accountant by training, if not by nature, and have spent many years in the corporate world managing business in various industries. I reached a time of life and a point in my career when I felt it was time to take stock and see what I really wanted to do with the rest of my life. I strongly felt that now was the time to do something that I could really take pride in, something that would be of value to the community and that would make a real difference to people’s lives. Having decided upon home care because of the experience with my Aunt Marge I found in Home Instead Senior Care a team and an ethos that mirrored my own desire to put quality of service at the heart of my business. I now want to share my passion with other local organisations and make a positive difference to people’s lives in the community.

Amber Morris - Care Manager

Hi I’m Amber, I live with my fiancée in a rural village just outside Luton, Bedfordshire. I enjoy travelling, especially to the Caribbean, cooking, gardening and horse riding (when I get the chance!)  I have worked in the social care sector for an amazing 17 years, my how time flies! I began my journey as a night care assistant in a nursing home in Bournemouth and progressed to become a senior carer for a large home care company in Bedford.  During this time I have worked closely alongside local district nurse teams, looking after people who were physically disabled and others with dementia.  In the last 3 years I gained further experience in a more senior role as a residential care home manager, again meeting the needs of people with mental health issues and dementia.   I joined Peter in November 2010, and together we have set up the Watford office. Our overriding desire is to promote best practice and raise standards within home care.  I find it very rewarding to know that the Home Instead team at Head Office are committed to empowering people with a genuine desire to care.

Sharon Foster

Hi, I’m Sharon, I have recently joined the team as Recruitment and Retention Coordinator. I am responsible for recruiting all of our enthusiastic and dedicated CareGivers. I also produce a regular CareGiver newsletter and help coordinate training. I really enjoy meeting and talking with our lovely clients as often as possible.

I am originally from Newcastle and have been living in the Watford area for 16 years, I’m married with 2 grown up children and have 2 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels called Alfie and Bailey. In my spare time I enjoy walking and spend as many weekends as possible going away to different parts of the country to explore the beautiful countryside we have in Britain.

Evonne Collins

Hi! My name is Evonne and I am the Care Coordinator for Home Instead Watford. I have worked in the care sector for 20 years, working in residential/ nursing homes and home care. I am passionate about care and providing high standards and will leave no stone unturned to achieve this. I have lived in Watford all my life so have a good knowledge of the area.

In my free time I enjoy Salsa and Zumba classes, getting out in the fresh air and my newest challenge is Nordic walking! So if you see me with my poles in one of the local parks, come say hello!

Chelsey Horton-Fairbrass

Hi, I’m Chelsey and I have recently joined Home Instead Watford as an Admin Assistant. Basically I make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible!

I currently split my time between work and my studies. I have a keen interest in cycling which is very handy as I live in Uxbridge and have to travel to Watford several times a week (it’s cheap and I can now give Bradley Wiggins a run for his money). I’m also qualifying as a Scuba Diver, which I admit is not the most useful pastime when living inside the M25 but at least it will make for an entirely awesome holiday.

I’m really glad that I could get behind a great independent company which allows me to work when I can and has a genuinely positive impact on the community. Hopefully this is the start of a very long and rewarding career!

Donna Chapman

Hi, I’m Donna and I am a Senior CareGiver within the Home Instead team here in Watford. I started as a CareGiver and have recently moved in to this new role. My new duties involve carrying out spot checks and supervisions to help support our CareGivers in their roles as well as speaking with clients to ensure that we are providing the best quality of care possible to every one of them.

I am really pleased that I was able to take the next step in my career with Home Instead. I am really passionate about caring for the elderly in our community and I know that everyone in Home Instead feels the same.

I am currently working towards my NVQ level 3 in Health and Social Care. I enjoy spending time with my 6 year old son, Reece, who keeps me busy and always makes me smile.
