I am a Health Care Provider by profession with extensive experience in patient care. I worked as a Nursing Aide for several years providing nursing care to patients of different cases, with different medical conditions and background. My compassionate nature and high level of concentration and excellent caring skills enable me to help the elderly to maintain mobility through light exercise and walking.I also have a demonstrated ability to assist cognitive functioning through various methods such as conversation, memory drills and books. I am good in assisting patients and elderly in their personal care and hygiene, bathing, grooming, toileting, dressing and feeding, with thorough understanding of healthy and safety practices. I am good in housekeeping works, grocery shopping and preparing meals and prescribed diets for the patient. Above all I am honest, dependable, trustworthy very patient, gentle and understanding. I also have a personal experience of being a Caregiver to family members with Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular and heart problems. stokes, rheumatoid arthritis and renal illness. Recently I was a caregiver of a family member with Grade II brain tumor. Caring a terminally ill family member is extremely demanding and stressful. It requires a lot of sacrifice, patience, compassion, love, dedication, physical, mental and emotional strength. However it was a very fulfilling,rewarding experience and a great achievement that I can be proud of.

I am a caring, compassionate, kind, patient, honest and reliable caregiver. I enjoy being a caregiver knowing I am helping people in various ways to achieve keeping their lives as normal and less stressful by doing all that is required and doing it well. I am the oldest of three and when my parents were at the age where they needed assistance I was there for them and realized they're so many other families in this situation and they are not able to be there for them. I enjoy meeting people and making a difference in their lives so that they can remain at home and not worry how will they do it.
