Merlene S.

I am professional, energetic and enjoy working with people of all ages and backgrounds. I started my career in health as a Registered Nurse in Australia. I have also worked in many areas of health and education. I have worked as a RN in acute and aged care settings. I also cared for my father in my home for over 5 years when he suffered dementia so I understand the challenges for families when providing care for their loved ones. I worked with special needs children in a residential home for 5 years and early childhood education for 12 years. I am well traveled having lived and worked in many countries in Asia and Africa. I am respectful of others choices and cultures. I am a calm person who focuses on solutions as opposed to dramas. I have a problem solving approach to challenges. I am completely reliable in all matters from time management to spoken word and money. When caring for clients, I aim to give them the same level of care and respect I would like for my family members. I am a good communicator but I am also aware of the importance of confidentiality. I have recently moved to Scarsdale as my husband has been posted here with the UN. I have my own car and can be flexible with work hours.

I am a very strong character that can handle any situation and condition under any circumstances. I have 27 years of hands on experience providing good quality care and assistance to patients and their families, in facilities and in their homes. Saving lives and bringing positivity and hope is my passion. I love working with all forms of life and being there to aide and assist with the challenges life brings. I provide the support necessary through motivation, encouragement, communication and proper care. I have my own car for transportation and am very reliable.
