I am Gideon, a man dedicated to providing respectful and compassionate care as a Caregiver and Patient Attendant. With over nine years of experience in personal care within home and assisted living environments, I have had the privilege of working with patients diagnosed with a wide range of conditions, ranging from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to Paralysis and Cancer. From administering injections to assisting with ambulation, I bring a comprehensive skill set to the table. I am competent in performing various duties like housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning and preparation, errands, and assisting with pet care, to name a few. My educational background is robust, including a Caregiver/Companion Certificate, a Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate, a Health Care Aides (HCA) Certificate, and a Bachelor's Degree, among other certifications. I have the ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a team, with exceptional communication skills enhancing my adaptability. My police check results are available upon request, and I am fluent in both English and French. Residing in Halifax, I have a driver's license and a vehicle that can be used for work purposes, and I am open to travelling and even relocating for the right role. I am looking to offer my services either as a Live-In or Live-Out Personal Support Worker or Caregiver/Companion on a full-time or part-time basis. My versatile availability ensures that I can easily cater to various work schedules in home health care, retirement homes, and clinic or hospital settings. As a health-conscious individual who does not smoke and swims well, I am physically fit and ready to start immediately. Nonetheless, what sets me apart is not just my professional competence, but my commitment to promoting dignity and respect for the individuals I work with. I look forward to the opportunity to extend this commitment to your needs.
