Meet the team

PRAFULA’S STORY

Prafula started off as a care worker at a large care company and worked herself up to be a care coordinator, but became frustrated with the way things were run. She could see inefficiencies and vast problems that made consistency of care difficult to provide. Determined that a home care company could do better she obtained all the necessary leadership and care management qualifications and founded Bluebird Care (Harrow) in 2007. Due to the great reputation she had built in Harrow she decided to open her second franchise (Brent) in 2012 to follow in the footsteps. In March 2016 the Joshi Family have taken over their third Franchise, Bluebird Care (East Hertfordshire).

MUNJAL’S STORY

Munjal has a background in Business and Entrepreneurship, having worked for a number of start-ups and big companies including running his own shop. However, through his family he had personal experience of the poor level of care delivered and along with Prafula he passionately believed that care could and should be done better.

Chaitan, Munjal and Prafula's son, has been a member of the Bluebird Care (Harrow)’s team since it first opened. He was introduced to the care industry by both his parents at a young age. Working closely with his mother Prafula he has gained first-hand experience and has learnt the majority of his skills and obtained the knowledge of how to run a busy day to day care business. 

Chaitan is qualified in CMI Level 4 NVQ in Leadership and Management for Care Services and holds a Bsc Honours degree in Computer Science. Chaitan is also a registered care manager with the Care Quality Commission.

Ushma, Munjal and Prafula’s daughter, has been a member of the Bluebird Care (Harrow)’s team since it first opened in 2007. She was also introduced to the care industry by both her parents at a young age. Working closely with her mother and brother she gained first-hand experience of running a busy day to day care business. Now with a broad range of experience in the care industry Ushma is the care manager for Bluebird Care (Harrow). 

Ushma is qualified in Level 5 in Health and Social Care and holds a BSc Honours degree in Media Business, Ushma works very closely with her brother Chaitan who are both responsible for managing all three Franchises.

I originally started as a carer and worked my way up to training manager. I returned to BBC after a two-year break and have been tasked with creating, updating, and training new and existing carers. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of the office and love the people I work with.
