My name is Sydney and I possess a robust 15 years of experience in the healthcare sector, predominantly caring for adults with varying diagnoses from dementia to ALS. I am well-versed in administering medication and have acquired basic proficiency in American Sign Language (ASL), a skill I've found to be invaluable in facilitating communication with Deaf and hearing-impaired individuals. Throughout my career, I have cultivated a deep understanding of diverse family dynamics and development stages. I have also been privileged to work with community welfare organizations such as Community Living and Bluewater Respite, expanding my skillset in addressing the unique needs of individuals facing developmental disabilities and mental health challenges. I am prepared to immediately start in a full-time capacity, offering my services throughout the week from mornings to evenings, including nights on weekends. I hold a driver's license, own a vehicle, and am proficient in a multitude of caregiving duties. This includes, but is not limited to, oxygen administration, patient lifting, toileting assistance, housekeeping, grocery shopping, meal preparation, errand running, assisting with pet care and outings, Alzheimer/Dementia care, and even palliative care. My educational background includes titles such as Caregiver/Companion and Home Support Worker, along with certified trainings in First Aid and CPR. I prefer to work in home health care or retirement homes, assisting individuals dealing with a wide array of conditions including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson's, dementia, stroke, cancer, and more. I am well equipped to offer personalized support services to cater to each individual’s unique healthcare needs. Although I am a non-relocator, I am capable of offering expert level care in a live-out arrangement. I must note that despite being a smoker, I am perfectly comfortable engaging in physically demanding tasks such as swimming and heavy lifting. I am a proud Canadian citizen and converse fluently in English. In my role as a caregiver, I aim to foster an environment of empathy, support, and utmost care, putting patient comfort and wellbeing at the forefront always. I am confident that my vast experience and unwavering dedication to this line of work make me an excellent asset in any care-giving arrangement.
