Home Share Companion Profiles

I’m a full-time primary school teacher with a background in Social Care. Before teaching I spent several years working in residential settings supporting people in their day-to-day lives. That experience has definitely shaped me to be naturally tuned into other people. I like a home to feel calm, easy, and settled. The natural teacher in me is patient and helpful. During the week my routine is fairly steady; work until 3pm, home to cook, out for a walk or an exercise class, and switch off for the evening. I’m not into late nights or a big social scene, and I value a quieter pace of life. I’m easy going, tidy without being over the top, and enjoy company when it suits you, whether that’s evening chats with a cuppa and a show, a walk, or a trip to the shops. I’m looking for comfortable accommodation where both people feel relaxed and at ease.

"Hello, I’m Tuane, I am a Healthcare Assistant, and I am usually home by 6:30pm in the evening. This is my 11-year-old dog, who is very friendly and spayed. We are both originally from Brazil and have been living in Dublin since 2019. I am a organised and responsible person. 

I have very flexible working hours, which I can change upon request. I can help with cleaning, cooking, and companionship. My hobbies are cycling, board games, and watching documentaries.

If you’re Catholic, I’d be happy to attend a mass with you, too. I’m a non-smoker, and I really enjoy learning about Irish culture."

I am Brazilian, empathetic, responsible, and I have a background in healthcare. I currently work in a nursing home; previously, I worked as a home care assistant, with extensive experience in supporting older people. I always respect established boundaries, routines, and rules, valuing the individual’s autonomy and well-being. I am organized and reliable, offering a safe presence and practical support when needed, without interfering with independence. I can assist with light daily tasks and provide support in situations of need. I am looking forward to living and working in the north of Dublin, such as Dublin 11, Dublin 9, Dublin 3, or Dublin 5, Dublin 7 for example.

Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I’m Colm, a 22-year-old from County Louth. This September I’ll be starting my Master’s in Physiotherapy at UCD. I’ve always enjoyed being active, which is what sparked my interest in physiotherapy and helping people stay mobile, independent and doing the things they enjoy.

Outside of college, I play Gaelic football for my local club, enjoy watching and playing soccer, going to the gym and meeting up with friends. I have my own car, I’m friendly, tidy and easy to get along with. I’d be happy to help out around the house and, if wanted, encourage light mobility exercises or go for walks together. I’m excited to start this next chapter at UCD and hope to build a good relationship with whoever I end up living with.

 I am from the west of Ireland from a family of 9 children. I have lived and worked in the UK, USA, France, Italy and Canada. I have been a nanny also in the USA, France, Ireland and Italy. I have been a live in companion on the Elderhomeshare program in Ireland also in London with Homeshareliving for over a year for a lady in her late 80's visually impaired with mobility issues.  I am friendly and outgoing, I am caring and responsible, very adaptable to new situations. I have a good sense of humour. My interests include dancing, singing, badminton, cycling, hiking, skiing, and walking. I love being in nature. I am hoping to find a new homeshare in Cork.  

Hello, my name is Natascha, and I will be starting a Graduate Medicine degree in Dublin inSeptember to train as a doctor. I recently completed my master’s degree in Scotland, where I also worked in a care home supporting older adults.

Besides my studies, I will be working part-time. I like to spend my evening and weekends at home unwinding. I am looking for a home filled with warmth, respect, and genuine
connection. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, hiking, yoga, reading, chess, card games, movies, and spending time outdoors. :)

My name is Uday Nikhil, and I am a qualified personal trainer with more than 20 years of experience supporting people of all ages and abilities to stay active, healthy, and confident. I am a calm, patient, and friendly person who enjoys helping others and creating a safe and positive environment at home. I am happy to assist with gentle mobility exercises and to provide reassurance and support in case of an emergency. I previously took part in a temporary Home Share arrangement over the Christmas 2024 period to support a homeowner with Parkinson's and found the experience very rewarding.

Hi there I'm Nadine a previous Elderhomeshare companion. Growing up in Birmingham I cared for my own dearly love Grandmother. Since moving to Ireland in 2016 I have been blessed to have lived with 2 amazing Elder Home Share women who have taught me so much about Life, Resilience and Iconic moments in Irish history. I became particularly close to Minnie who was 94 when we met. She taught me all about growing up in Dublin in the 30s, 40s and being a dancer in the 50s. Our friendship was so lovely.. To me that is such a wonderful part of this whole program. I also come with my little dog Missy Grá who is a sociable and fully house trained 9kg Cavachon, who goes to doggy day care when I’m working as a Dental Nurse in Dún Laoghaire. I am also a fully licensed EMT so very calm in emergencies and I’m open to joint activities like bingo, short walks, painting, cards or just chats over cups of tea.
