Priscilla Miedema supports informal carers in North Holland
◆1 source
Priscilla Miedema from Beverwijk reportedly works as a care broker for informal carers across North Holland. She helps people caring for family members, friends or neighbours find support in areas including care, housing, well-being, work and finances, and can contact municipalities and other organisations on their behalf. She serves as a single point of contact between carers and the relevant services.
Miedema began this work after caring for her grandmother for years and experiencing difficulties obtaining support herself. Following a serious car accident that prevented her from continuing her previous job, she trained as a care broker and became self-employed. She now assists carers of different ages, including a family whose mother has a brain tumour, for whom she arranged support so the woman could remain at home and part of the family.
