Safira F.
I am a compassionate healthcare professional with two years of experience as a caregiver and personal support worker. This experience has provided me with the opportunity to work with a diverse patient population, including individuals with diagnoses such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, and stroke. I have worked in various settings including community-based homes, retirement homes, and healthcare clinics. My career began at Glen Rouge Community, within Sienna Senior Living. Here, I provided personalized assistance to patients with their day-to-day activities, maintained accurate medication schedules, and ensured ongoing supervision as per established protocols. Similarly, at Arul Oli Senior Home located in Scarborough, I custom-tailored care for clients who had physical disabilities, chronic illnesses, and cognitive impairments, while advocating for their independence and mobility. As a healthcare provider, I am proud to foster an environment that encourages mental and emotional well-being. This is achieved by engaging my patients in meaningful activities and social interactions while ensuring appropriate collaboration with healthcare teams to provide comprehensive care. For the role of a caregiver/companion or personal support worker, I offer services such as, but not limited to, housekeeping, meal planning and preparation, toileting assistance, palliative, Parkinson’s, and Alzheimer/Dementia care, oxygen administration, and patient positioning. In terms of certifications and skills, I possess a Caregiver/Companion certificate, Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate, Home Support Worker Certificate, alongside CPR and First Aid certifications. I am comfortable with pet care and performing errands as required. I am also mobile and able to travel for work, though I am unable to relocate. I possess a driver's license and have access to my own vehicle if required for the job. Regarding my work schedule, I understand the unpredictable nature of healthcare and am available throughout the week, whether it's mornings, afternoons or evenings. As a non-smoker who loves my job and has a passion for helping others, my ultimate goal is to maintain the highest quality of life for my clients whilst ensuring their safety and well-being. I am fluent in English, Gujerati, and Hindi. I can assure you of my police clearance check and readiness to start work immediately if required. I am excited to bring my skills and provide support to your loved one.
