Who I am

About me

With passion and dedication, I support seniors in daily life, with respect, patience, and genuine care.

My name is Urszula Ostrowska and for over 30 years I have worked with people, accompanying them in daily life, supporting their development, and helping them overcome difficulties. For many years I served as director of the cultural centre, where I organised the municipality's cultural life, led social initiatives, and took part in charity campaigns.

These many years of experience naturally led me to work where I can still be close to people and genuinely help them. That is why for over 10 years I have professionally cared for elderly people in Poland and Germany, gaining experience working with seniors at different levels of independence.
