Donne Cristofoli
@donnecristofoli
Project manager and private carer with 20+ years delivering under pressure.
FranceWhat I'm looking for
I’m a reliable, adaptable professional with 20+ years of combined experience in project management and private one-to-one care. After 16 years living and working in France, I’ve recently returned to the UK and I’m seeking temporary or flexible work while re-establishing my career locally.
In project management roles across London, including Capita Symonds and multiple NHS trusts, I delivered building projects with a strong focus on quality and safety compliance, supervised on-site progress, and liaised with contractors and stakeholders on demanding timelines. Alongside that, my private care experience includes live-in support for an elderly couple (including Alzheimer’s) and dementia care for a client, where I managed daily routines, medication reminders, and household tasks—building trust quickly with clients, colleagues, and vulnerable individuals.
