About us

Saffron is a warm and welcoming carer. Her house is a detached 4 bed cottage in the rural village of Chevithorne, located up a long farm track surrounded by country side. There are 3 bedrooms available, one single bedroom downstairs closely located to a toilet and a large double bedroom and single bedroom upstairs. I have two dogs and a cat, they are all very friendly. Outside the back door is a courtyard garden with steps going up to a very large garden, which is fenced off and I’m currently in the process of building a vegetable plot. Through the courtyard garden and across the track is a smaller garden, ideal for sitting in the warmer months. The house is located in Chevithorne, which is a small village just a 10 minute drive outside of Tiverton. There are no public transport links or shops in Chevithorne but Tiverton has a large town centre with an array of shops, cafes, bus and taxi services, gyms, spas, there’s a swimming pool, cinema, parks, banks, post offices, museums, a library and a hospital.

Saffron is a single female carer and supports a young male, this placement is relatively new but is going very well, Saffron has many years experience working within the care sector she has experience in supporting people with learning disability, autism, dementia, mental health, and trauma in young people.
