My name is Dan, a resident of Markham and a proud parent. I am a driven individual, ready to begin my journey in health care with all the knowledge from my Bachelor's Degree along with my First Aid and Home Support Worker training. I am particularly skilled in the area of caregiving and companionship. My availability is mainly during the weekdays from mornings to the middle of day. I am open to both part-time and full-time positions with preferred arrangements of either Live-In or Live-Out. My pursuit of a meaningful career in health care has led me to desire working in Home Health Care. I find fulfillment in tasks like Range of Motion Exercise, Housekeeping, Laundry, Grocery Shopping, Meal Planning/Preparation, Cleaning Bathrooms, Assisting with Pet Care, Escort to Appointments, and Vacuuming. While new to professional caregiving, I come prepared with the experience of caring for my children and interacting with people with Hearing and Visual Impairments, and I can confidently provide high-quality care for them. Additionally, I am open to the opportunity of looking after children with disabilities. Reliability is key in my service offering; I have my own vehicle and a driver's license, allowing for flexibility when it comes to traveling and running errands. Furthermore, I am a non-smoker, able to swim well, and I am willing to have a police check done at any time. Beyond my skills and experiences, I believe my fluency and excellent communication skills in Cantonese, English, and Mandarin will greatly contribute to my ability to connect with patients on a deeper level. Please note that I am not open to relocating. I am looking forward to assisting you and your loved ones soon, starting from the 15th of November, 2024. I come from Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. I am 51 years old . I would like to work in elderly care. For someone just starting this job, they tend to be more patient and understanding. I really enjoy chatting and interacting with elderly people. At the same time, I think I could learn English through this process, and I am also willing to learn about Western cooking methods if they are willing to teach me. Additionally, I believe most elderly people are very kind, so I would be happy to take care of them and help them live with more confidence and dignity.”

My name is Maggie, and I have been working as an insurance broker for the past 24 years. Now, at the age of 45 with three grown children, I really want to change my profession and do what makes me happy, giving my life new meaning by helping others. While I do not yet have formal education as a PSW, I did take care of my elderly mother, who is bedridden with two broken arms and severe osteoporosis. I bathed her, cooked and fed her, dressed her wounds, drove her to appointments, and ensured she took all her prescribed medication as needed. I kept her company to ensure she was safe and well cared for. I have also successfully raised three healthy children. As I still need to maintain my current day job to keep the lights on, I will only be available at night and on weekends. If you need help taking care of a loved one, please consider letting me help you. I am a kind and compassionate person who wishes to make a difference in someone else's life and give new meaning to my own. I was a caregiver to my own mother, who was bedridden with two broken arms and severe osteoporosis, and I also raised three children of my own.
