Vivian J.
My name is Vivian. I am a Kenyan citizen, but I came to Canada in 2022 to study healthcare in British Columbia. I then worked with elderly Muslim individuals at Right At Home Vancouver, providing care in various homes for different clients. After that, I moved to Kelowna in February of last year and worked as a live-in caregiver, performing all household tasks and providing palliative care. I am comfortable assisting with bathroom needs. I enjoy working as a caregiver because it reminds me of my grandmother and great-grandmother, who I lived with until they passed away in 2022 before I moved to Canada. They are the ones who inspired my love for this job.
With 3 years of experience in senior/health care, I am a dedicated and compassionate caregiver ready to start immediately. I am available Monday to Friday for morning, middle of day, evening, and night shifts. I have a Caregiver/Companion, Home Support Worker, First Aid, and CPR Certificate from college. I am skilled in providing a wide range of services such as housekeeping, meal preparation, Alzheimer/Dementia care, and patient positioning. I have experience working with patients with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia, Cancer, and more. Originally from Kenya, I am fluent in Swahili and English. I am looking for full-time employment as a caregiver/companion in home health care or retirement homes, and I am open to both live-in and live-out arrangements.
