Ashli M.
As a compassionate and caring professional, I wish to utilize my experience to provide assistance and comfort to those in need. With 13 years of professional experience, I am eager to transition my skills towards healthcare, particularly focusing on senior care. My recent diagnosis of ADHD has helped me channel my strengths and passions in the right direction, leading me towards this rewarding field of work. My deep love for animals ensures that I can be entrusted with pet care, in addition to the caregiving duties for your loved ones. Additionally, I am capable of performing duties such as housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning and preparation, running errands, and offering assistance with daily living activities. I not only have the skills to provide Alzheimer's/Dementia care, but I can also offer medical assistance to patients suffering from a range of health conditions, including Stroke, Diabetes, and Incontinence. Based in Ottawa, I am available most days, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings from Monday through Friday. I am open to part-time opportunities preferably in Home Health Care, Retirement Homes, or Clinics/Hospitals. Although my preferred arrangement is a Live-Out situation, I am also willing to travel for work. As a non-smoker who is an adept swimmer and willing to obtain a police check, I assure you that your loved one's safety and health are my priority. I communicate effectively in English and as a Canadian citizen, I have a profound understanding of the local culture and needs. Equipped with a caregiver/companion Associate degree, you can rest assured that I am well-trained and knowledgeable in my field. I am eager to leverage my experience to provide quality care, comfort, and a supportive environment for your loved ones. I believe in advocating for an active lifestyle which includes engaging in outdoor activities, exploring new culinary experiences, and promoting social interactions with friends, family, and neighbours throughout the week. I am ready to begin this journey on April 1, 2026. My goal is to fulfil my aspirations for success while making a positive difference in the lives of those in need. I look forward to the opportunity of bringing comfort and joy to your lives.
I have over 5 years of experience working in a retirement home as a receptionist and activity assistant. During my time there, I focused on organizing and engaging residents in daily activities, assisting with daily tasks, and ensuring their needs were met promptly. I also facilitated group events such as happy hour and snack times, maintained communication with family members and staff, and supported residents in various care-related aspects. Furthermore, I have 8 years of experience working in an Optometric Clinic, where I interacted with patients of all ages, including a significant number of elderly individuals. These interactions were a highlight of my work, allowing me to provide professional care and support to a diverse clientele.
