My name is Monica, I’m 21 years old and currently pursuing a degree in theology, with a deep interest in helping others, particularly within homecare and adult services. My background includes taking care of my grandmother during her recovery from hip surgery, which gave me valuable hands-on experience in providing compassionate care. Additionally, I’ve worked at a retirement home, which has made me comfortable in positions that require empathy, patience, and attention to detail. Growing up in a family where my three older sisters and stepmom have experience in PSW work or as EAs within the school board, I’ve had the opportunity to shadow and learn from them, further strengthening my skills and passion for helping others. I am excited to bring my personal and professional experience to a role in homecare or adult services, where I can continue to make a positive impact. I want to work with homecare and adult services because of my strong desire to support and improve the quality of life for older adults. Having worked in a retirement home, I’ve had the opportunity to interact directly with seniors, helping them with daily needs like meal service. This experience has deepened my appreciation for the importance of compassionate, personalized care, and I’m eager to continue working in this field, providing the necessary support to enhance their well-being and independence. I am currently completing my undergrad degree in Theology and took a pastoral course specifically on Dying, Death, and Grief.

Caregiver / Companion, Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate

I, Jennifer, am an experienced healthcare professional who has spent more than a decade dedicating myself to providing top-quality assistance and support to patients. My background encompasses work in a range of environments, which include positions in hospital housekeeping, as a food attendant, and a unit aide, as well as crucial roles as a night caregiver for a disabled patient and companion to people living with Alzheimer's and Dementia. Over the past three years, I have honed my skills in live-out settings, offering full-time and part-time care with disabilities, retirees, and home health care recipients. This care varied in complexity from heavy patient lifting and transfer and helping with toileting, dressing, and grooming assistance, to providing range of motion exercises, meal prep, and running errands. In addition to general responsibilities, my experience extends to dementia care and comprehensive tasks including vacuuming, hand washing dishes, and escorting clients to appointments and social outings. Despite my depth of experience, I am always keen to continue learning and growing within my profession — a trait that only strengthens my service's quality. I am certified in First Aid and CPR, supplementing my training as a Caregiver / Companion and Home Support Worker. Stationed in Ottawa, and proficient in coordinating care around a patient's personal needs, I am available on a flexible schedule extending from mornings to nights on any weekday. From the 1st of February, 2026, I hope to bring my diverse experience to a role that allows me to support those in need whilst building on my existing healthcare expertise.

My name is Rowan and I am a 3rd Kinesiology student at Acadia University. I grew up in the Westend of Halifax, NS as the youngest of 5 kids. With a big family, I grew up being very accustomed to a busy schedule and a chaotic home (at times). I am a very athletic individual, I have played sports ever since I could remember and I absolutely love watching them as well. The sports I play are Ringette and Volleyball, but I enjoy watching all sport. Throughout high school, I completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which provided me with an amazing opportunity to challenge myself academically while also volunteering and playing sports. After finishing my degree, I hope to work in occupational therapy or senior care. I am a Strength and Conditioning intern with Acadia Performance Training. I am currently placed with the Acadia Varsity Women’s Basketball team as a junior strength trainer. I am very interested in occupational therapy or senior care after graduating with my Kinesiology degree. Outside of sports and school, my interests include drawing, crocheting, hiking, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I am a friendly, social, high energy and motivated young adult who is looking for a summer job before returning to university in the fall. I can make myself available for a variety of hours depending on what is required and I am a very quick learner. Excited to hear from you!

I am a cheerful, open-minded 37 year old woman with a passion for spending quality time with the elderly. Working with seniors at the veterans hospital has been my favourite job. In particular, I really enjoy facilitating music trivia, going for walks, doing 1:1 art, and teaming up to complete crossword puzzles! Since becoming a mother, I have really come to value time at home and am trying to create a work/life balance that works for myself and my family. My family only has one vehicle which my husband uses M-F, so I rely on transit! I am currently available every Monday, some Thursdays, and every Friday (see availability). I hope to be a good fit for you and your loved one! I have a background in recreation therapy as well as a degree in the arts. I have spent several years working at a Veterans Hospital, as well as doing private respite and working with adults/seniors who have cognitive impairments. I am very aware of the loneliness and isolation that some seniors can experience as they age. I take a creative, open-minded approach to engaging clients in past interests or trying out new things.
