My name is Emujevoke, Emu for short, and I am a 25-year-old enthusiastic and detail-oriented personal support worker with over four years of experience. I am dedicated, empathetic, and highly competent in encouraging, supporting, and promoting independence among patients with diverse backgrounds and age groups while preserving their general well-being. I possess extensive knowledge and skills in aiding patients with personal care, medication reminders, carrying out care plans, checking vital signs, meal preparation, and ensuring safe transfers, all while also providing light housekeeping as directed by my supervisors. My excellent interpersonal and communication skills allow me to collaborate with patients and their families, ensuring patients are treated with the utmost care. I am a compassionate, attentive, and diligent caregiver dedicated to providing each patient with exemplary care and assistance. Overall, I am most committed to enhancing patients' general quality of life and fostering independence.
I am Nigerian (West African) and single, having moved from Nigeria two years ago. I love a neat, quiet environment, and I am a friendly, empathetic, cheerful, polite, and kind person. I love smiling, so you will catch me smiling always and offering a helping hand to everyone around me.
My interests include reading, cooking, baking, cleaning, watching movies, singing, praying, and spending time with family. I love traveling, going out, hiking, and having fun with family and friends.
