Yrs Experience

Alberta is my home Province but I’m originally from the Southern Caribbean. I came to Canada under the live in caregiver program, and worked in Ontario before settling in beautiful Alberta. I’ve been a Canadian citizen for a long time. I enjoy nurturing the young and protecting and caring for the elderly. I am a great cook. I’m trained in the areas of Food and Beverage Management, Business Administration and Human Services. I am also a Health Care Aide. I enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their life experiences. At this time I am interested in a one year renewable contract taking care of seniors, providing palliative care, or assisting persons with limited mobility. I have cared for a few wonderful centenarians, and have helped enrich the lives of so many. My experience has been mostly exciting and enjoyable but undoubtedly diverse. I have done some complex care such as tracheotomy care, ostomy and catheter care. I’ve cared for a number of persons with TBIs, broken bones and mental challenges. With Covid 19 concerns, I am prepared to limit my contacts and even live- in, for everyone's comfort and safety. I am fully vaccinated. Music, reading, writing and dancing are some of my interests. I am capable, caring, loyal, pleasant, flexible, humorous, and intelligent. I think critically and never seem panicked. I have a clean driver’s abstract, great references and a clear police record. I’m ready for my next adventure.

I’ve worked in senior homes, group care settings and with persons privately. I’ve managed overnight shifts, managed a household with a vulnerable couple. I understand the importance of recording observations. Clients are different but communication is always important. I’m trained and experienced, but most importantly I’m intelligent and empathetic. Additional Experiences/Qualifications: I enjoy meal preparation and try to provide a holistic experience for clients.

Recommended by Ashley
Worked with Frank and Ashley Nelson for 2016 - 2019. My job entailed taking care of their two children, who at the time were 10 months and 2.5 years old. I prepared meals and took them to school and other activities. They were paramedics so flexibility was important. Those children extracted from me a type of unconditional love that is inexplicable. Left to return to the Caribbean to explore a bit. The kids were getting older and I thought they needed a different type of adventurous caregiving experience. Will always consider them family.
Recommended by Sandy
I met Sandy while working at Bethany, Airdrie. She was my direct supervisor for 2.5 years. She along with other senior staff members moulded me. Sandy illustrated the soothing effects of music on the residents, something I adopted in other positions. She also showed me how to care for a person with an amputation. Bethany Airdrie 2.5 years I was not terminated but accepted a position at another resident home
