I’m a calm, dependable, and compassionate support person who enjoys working with individuals who benefit from steady companionship, respectful assistance, and a consistent daily rhythm. My background includes residential support work in a group home setting as well as administrative and client-support roles that strengthened my communication skills, reliability, and attention to detail. I’m naturally patient and grounded and enjoy meaningful conversation, card games, crafts, reading, gentle walks, time in nature, and creating a calm and comfortable environment. I’m especially well suited to companion-style roles that involve connection, routine support, encouragement, and helping individuals maintain independence in their own homes. I especially enjoy supporting individuals who benefit from consistent weekly visits and a calm, reliable presence. I value integrity, clear communication, and supporting people in ways that respect their preferences and personal pace. Families can expect consistency, attentiveness, and someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of the people I support.

I have experience supporting adults with different abilities and backgrounds, including residential support work in a government group home and one-to-one support with newcomers learning English. In the group home setting, I supported residents with mobility challenges, communication differences, daily routines, meal assistance, medication reminders, companionship, and documentation to support continuity between staff. This experience strengthened my understanding of how important patience, dignity, and being genuinely listened to are in caregiving environments. While supporting newcomers learning English, I also assisted with navigating daily routines and building confidence in communication, which required consistency, encouragement, and adaptability. Although my formal residential experience was not specifically with seniors, I understand how important independence, choice, and respectful companionship are at this stage of life. I am comfortable providing companion-style support, assisting with basic daily routines, and helping maintain a calm and supportive home environment. I bring a steady, patient approach and strong documentation and communication skills developed through group home, veterinary clinic, and administrative roles. I am also open to learning safe transfer techniques or additional training as needed to support quality care.

I completed the Animal Health Technology program at NAIT and worked in veterinary clinic environments as well as providing independent in-home pet care for many years. This training developed strong observation skills, comfort supporting medication routines, clear documentation practices, and the ability to remain calm and attentive in situations where individuals or families may be feeling stressed or uncertain. Alongside my residential support experience in a group home setting and administrative background, this has contributed to my steady, detail-oriented approach to providing reliable companion-style support. I am comfortable learning household routines and adapting my support to each individual’s preferences and needs.
