My name is Stella, a dedicated health-care professional based in Halifax with over 9 years of comprehensive experience in senior care. I have a passion for providing quality care and maintain a commitment to improving the quality of life of seniors in our community. Throughout my career, my experiences with Nurse Next door Halifax, Northwoodcare INC and PARAMED Health Home care have equipped me with the skills necessary to provide exceptional care to my clients.
This involves undertaking a variety of duties from managing long-term care and home care for residents and clients, to personal care tasks like grooming, bathing, and feeding. Moreover, I assist with meal preparations, recreational activities and mobility when necessary. Beyond these duties, I also monitor the progress of my clients, ensuring they maintain a satisfactory level of health and promoting well-being at all times.
As a reliable and trustworthy professional with a Patient Support Worker (PSW) certificate, I am available seven days a week, from dawn till dusk, and I am open to both full-time and part-time employment. With the flexibility of relocation and travel coupled with having a driver's license and a personal vehicle for on-the-job use, I have the ability to get to my patients wherever they may be.
I have the proficiency to handle a variety of conditions including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia, Stroke, and more. And having worked in various settings like Home Health Care, Retirement Homes, and Clinics/Hospitals, I am always ready to utilize my skills in new and challenging environments. My preference is for Live-In or Live-Out arrangements.
Additionally, I have experience working with children with disabilities, having personally raised kids myself. My duties can range from housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, to planning outings and visits, Alzheimer/Dementia care, Catheter/Colostomy Care, and more. As a non-smoker fluent in English and of Nigerian descent, I am fit and ready to take on my next role. Rest assured, I have undergone a police check and cleared. Your loved ones are in safe and capable hands with me.
