My name is Melissa, and I currently live in Ottawa, Ontario, with an open work permit. I’m actively looking for a senior care or health care assistant position with an employer who is open to providing LMIA support so I can continue contributing to the community and building a future in Canada. While I’m not a certified caregiver, I have personal experience providing long-term care for my mother and grandparents, assisting them with daily routines, companionship, and emotional support. My background is in education. I’ve worked as a Head Teacher in a bilingual school and have been teaching English to children since I was 16. I speak four languages: English, Spanish, French, and Italian. I’m reliable, compassionate, and calm under pressure. In my free time, I enjoy painting, dancing, and connecting with people. I’m looking for an opportunity to care for others in a respectful, supportive environment here in Ottawa.

I’m Melissa, currently based in Ottawa and actively seeking a position as a senior caregiver or health care assistant with an employer who is open to providing LMIA support. While I do not have formal health care training, I bring real-life caregiving experience from taking care of my mother and grandparents for over a year. I supported them with daily routines, medication reminders, emotional companionship, and light housekeeping, which taught me a lot about empathy, patience, and attentiveness. Professionally, I have a background in education and have worked as a Head Teacher in a bilingual school, developing strong communication and organization skills. I speak four languages, English, Spanish, French, and Italian, and I’m quick to adapt, respectful, and committed to learning. I’m passionate about helping others feel safe, heard, and cared for, and I’m looking for an opportunity to grow in this field within Ottawa. Thank you for considering me as part of your care team.
