Barbara V.
I am Barbara, a resident of South Mountain and a seasoned healthcare professional with 9 years of experience specializing in senior care. I carry an expansive knowledge base in handling various diagnoses including Dementia, Hearing Impairment, and Fractured Hip. I believe in a comprehensive care approach that takes into account not just the basic care, but also aspects like meal planning, housekeeping, personal grooming, and pet care. Being armed with caregiving, first aid, and CPR certifications, alongside a college degree, I am dedicated to ensuring the safety and comfort of patients by providing specialized care, particularly those suffering from Alzheimer’s and requiring palliative care. I am a licensed driver and can travel as needed, providing added assistance for outdoor activities aimed at enhancing seniors' social life. Swimming is a strong forte of mine, making sure that safety is not compromised in any water-related activities that your loved one might want to engage in. One of the most rewarding parts of my work is forming close bonds with those I care for, thinking of myself not just as a caregiver, but as a reliable companion. I can commit to part-time positions, prefering to work in retirement homes or home health care settings and effectively accommodating hearing impairments. I can work any day of the week either during the middle of the day, evening, or night. I am a proud Canadian and a fluent English speaker and eager to bring my senior care expertise to your family from the 9th of June, 2026. Your loved ones' safety, comfort, and well-being are my utmost priorities and I'm most looking forward to becoming a part of your support network.
I have moved to Ontario, from British Columbia. I’ve had the pleasure of caring / helping an elderly lady over 100 years old. She was incontinent. I made simple meals and bathed, continued to do light housekeeping, wash laundry, change her bed and so forth. This lady used a walker, and I was responsible for outings mobility then moved do wheelchair. Obviously I was her driver to and from outings and appointments. We were a team of three that provided round the clock care and companionship. If this you are interested in talking with me please do not hesitate to call.
