About Oluwatosin

My qualities are being attentiveness, dependable and trustworthy. I learned these qualities over the year while working with children. What attracted me to being a caregiver was my clinical experience in nursing school. I worked with older adults and loved all the knowledge I gained sitting there and talking to them. I enjoyed being my patients' caregiver because the smile on their face every time I came in made my day run smoothly. I was able to interact with my patients one on one, give them their morning and afternoon medications and assist with their baths. As I mentioned, I enjoyed the talks, I feel as though they do not always have a companion to talk to but I enjoyed listening to their stories. My grandparents lived in Nigeria and I never had that grandparent experience. I learned a lot working with them. Learning how to take blood pressure from older adult was an achievement I am proud of because it was very frustrating at first. Older adults sometimes have faint pulses and it is very difficult to hear it. I would have to try more than once to get an accurate result. As I kept practicing daily, I got the hang of it.

The degree of satisfaction derived from my interventions is a unique feeling, to experience. Both uplifting...but also humbling. Perhaps, being the parent of the most beautiful precious, most special special child. It's ingrained within me, the dire need to be a voice, for the vulnerable. Seeing a task completed, with great results, makes it all worthwhile. The greatest sense of gratitude, has been, for me, times when the client required careful, almost mechanical transferring. After she was safely delivered...that glorious sigh of relief, and the look of relaxed expression, of the client. I could cite endless more...TWO OTHER LANGUAGES - Hungarian Yiddish SALARY - always negotiable RESUME - available REFERENCES - all available. I'M EXTREMELY HEALTH CONSCIOUS, AND TAKE CARE TO - * exercise * weight control * watch my diet * keep myself active and youthful * mentally and physically * I welcome mind challenges... put to the test * I am grateful for my ability to maintain - correct body mechanics - in control when needed to pivot a patient....and always to maintain control FYI - Vaccination verification available, upon request.
