My name is Irene, a compassionate caregiver with 5 years of experience in maintaining high quality care and support to clients of all backgrounds and diagnoses. With a career in healthcare residing in Edmonton, I have extensive knowledge and experience in working with diverse conditions like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia, Cancer, Stroke, and many others, providing bespoke care, love and companionship with an emphasis on enriching the lives of my patients while ensuring their safety and comfort. I am currently seeking employment as a full-time Caregiver or Personal Support Worker, be it in-home health care, retirement homes or clinical settings. My schedule is flexible, with availability mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights throughout the week. I am willing to relocate and prepared to start immediately upon reference checks. While I don't own a vehicle, I carry a driver's license, and do not mind using public transportation or taking up travel jobs. What's more, I am familiar with duties including housekeeping, meal planning & preparation, errand running, and assisted walking. I won’t mind working as Live-in or Live-out caregiver according to the preference of the client. Though I smoke, I strictly follow smoking limitations when on duty and around clients. I am also a mother, which enriches my caregiving experience, making me attentive, patient, and able to genuinely connect with clients. As a testament to my qualifications, I hold a first aid certificate and specialized caregiver and companion education. I am also proficient in English, making communication facile and effective. I am an African, am fully police checked, and commit myself to uphold top professional and ethical standards in my role. My aim as a caregiver is to extend my skills and dedicate my time to enriching the lives of those in need, using my knowledge and passion for the welfare of my clients, thereby making a significant difference in their lives.
