I am Nicholas, a 36-year-old dedicated health care professional residing in Markham. I have a seasoned experience of four years in the field, offering quality support to patients of varying diagnoses, including Alzheimer's, Dementia, Cancer, Stroke among others. My desire to start working as a Personal Support Worker or a Caregiver springs from my commitment to well-being, care, and dignity for all my patients.
My schedule is extremely flexible as I can provide my services at any time from morning to night, except on Sundays and Wednesdays where my availability is from the middle of the day until evening. In addition, I am open to relocations and can travel as the job demands. Furthermore, being a non-smoker who can swim well, I guarantee complete safety and a clean environment for all my patients.
With a comprehensive background in providing home support services, I take pride in my ability to perform varied duties from housekeeping and grocery shopping to meal planning and preparation, errands, and patient care tasks. Moreover, I am skilled in bathing assistance, Alzheimer/Dementia care, palliative care, Parkinson care, lifts and transfers, tube feeding, and patient positioning. I also have experience in catheter/ colostomy care, bed bath, oxygen administration, assistance with hygiene, and arranging visits and outings for patients to encourage socialisation.
Accreditations gained from obtaining a Caregiver/ Companion Certificate, Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate, Home Support Worker Certificate, First Aid Certificate, and CPR Certificate, and Bachelor's Degree substantiate my commitment to the profession. I am also pleased to have a positive criminal record check that assures my credibility.
Being fluent in English and having the ability to interact with diverse cultures due to my African citizenship makes me proficient in communication and relationship building.
I am looking forward to offering my services full-time or part-time at Retirement Homes, Clinic/Hospital, or Home Health Care. Open to both live-in and live-out arrangements, I am excited to start this journey on the 13th of May, 2024. Having provided care to patients with various chronic conditions thus far, I assure you of my unwavering dedication and hard work in the future.
I have worked with manoir fluery senior home and Fairview nursing home.
