Carer of the Year: Helen Sensi

HELEN SENSI has been nominated for Carer of the Year, sponsored by Specsavers.

She has held the role of palliative care nurse since 2017.

Nominator Jen said: ‘Helen is a senior nurse for the States of Guernsey. 

‘She is also a mum of three young children. 

‘She was there when our dad died and has since taken on responsibility (with her amazing husband, Adam) to care, shop, cook, clean and give companionship to our mum, who is housebound with numerous physical disabilities. 

‘Helen and Adam have gone through losing their own child, caring for our mum and also being there for anyone who needs help. 

‘She never moans and is the most amazing person. 

‘She is a hero in my eyes and I’d love for her incredible efforts to be recognised.’

Mrs Sensi said she is really passionate about her job.

‘There are lots of pressures and responsibilities but I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I love it.’
