Caregiver with over 20 years of experience helping seniors and families with children. I immigrated to Canada from Ukraine in 2022 when the war started in my country. I worked in my home country as a licensed nurse for over 20 years. I obtained First Aid/CPR certification in Vancouver and have healthcare experience in a variety of medical settings including emergency units, gynecologist departments, and pediatric units. I am a communicative, responsible individual who is ready and willing to assist your loved ones!
