Helping and accompanying my grandmother as I grew up has instilled in me the desire to readily help those in need especially the elderly.
Working as a Home Support Worker since Juyl 2024 for a family of 6 but mainly assisting the elderly grandparent (84 years old) with dementia. I need to make sure she doesn't skip her meal, do some cleaning and organizing so that she is safe and comfortable, and listen to her stories. Volunteer Work - Assist and accompany my sister's mother-in-law (73 years old) during her visit from February 2024 to August 2024 here in Canada. Prepare meals and remind her of her medications. Sleep in the same room with her and report any discomfort observed to properly address the problem. Assist her in walking and going to the toilet during road trips. - Helping out families and friends in need - taking turns in looking after the patient during hospitalization, provide emotional support when their loved ones died, or at times taking care of their children during sickness. - Assist my sister in taking care of her son with speech delay (turning 5 year old this year 2024) since June 2022 here in Canada. Prepare meal, feed, bathe and play with him. - Provide support to my brother and his family in New Zealand from March 2018 to November 2018. Assist in preparation of meals and light housekeeping but mainly in looking after their children, aged 4 years old (with mild autism), 2 years old and a newborn, while my sister-in-law is recovering from C-section.
