About Diane

Caregiving has always come second nature to me. I remember intuitively rubbing my grandmother's back and feet at a very young age, because of how much discomfort she was in and wanting to relieve her from all her aches and pains. I learned early on that simply engaging in conversation or encouraging my grandmother to go on walks, would alleviate much of her pain and boost her spirits almost instantaneously. As, I grew older I took on many volunteering and paid jobs to assist, care, and provide companionship to children with disabilities, the elderly, and terminally ill patients. What I enjoy most about caregiving is the ability to connect with the person and build a trustworthy friendship . My biggest personal achievement is, I have turned my passion for caregiving into my career goal which is to become a Medical Doctor.

I became a caregiver since 2005 and was laid off as a program assistant in a Senior Facility I love to work with seniors and passionate about caring for them because I found them helpless but I have learned so many things through their life experiences and I considered working and helping Seniors as a personal achievement that I am proud of. I am compassionate, reliable, honest, patient and respectful. I am proud to say that I have a quality of a good caregiver since I was the one who took care of my ailing mother before she passed away. I have a heart for Seniors who needs help and care.

When I was a teenager, I provided care for my uncle when he was really sick and bedridden. I was on vacation and decided to be with him instead. He improved after a couple of months and I helped him with transferring, feeding, comfort, toileting and grooming. I really enjoyed assisting him and knew I wanted to become a caregiver or a nurse. I really love providing for the needs of my patients, improving their care and giving back to the patients and families. Sometimes the joy you see in their faces after a job, and the smile and thank you makes all the hard work worth your time. During my job, and past experience, I have assisted coworkers to help patients that needed extensive help such as transferring, toileting, grooming and companionship. I am a reliable person, friendly, organized, patient, hard working, strong, and flexible. I love helping others and always have this smile on my face that gives hope and happiness to others. I am highly talented as a nursing aide with a lot of experience in performing work caring for residents. I am bilingual in French and English; have excellent interpersonal communication skills, am compassionate and technically skilled in attending to patients. I am adept to helping patients in diverse healthcare settings. I am a certified nursing assistant with experience working with the elderly and adults. Nursing professional with 5+ years extensive experience.
