From February 2024-January 2025. My recent client who just passed away was an 83 years old female. Apart from her Dementia, She had some serious medical issues physically and mentally that made her bedridden after months of hospitalization. She was living with her family. I took care of her 12 hours a day, 5 days a week and sometimes, I cover some weekends when my colleague can't come to work. I was very devoted to help my client and her family until the day she died. I cooked for her breakfast and the daughter in law cooked food for their lunch and dinner. I always make sure that I entertained her. I always tried to convinced and encouraged her regarding personal hygiene and I cut her finger nails every week if possible.
From March 2022-December 2023. Prior to my recent client, I also took care of a very nice gentleman, 91 years old, who has an advanced Dementia, it got worsen after he got covid and been sick since then. For 10 months I was with him, it was one of the job i enjoyed . Most of the time, his wife was away for 2 weeks and I stayed live-in to take care of him and also to supervised other workers from the agency. His wife entrusted him to me and i was the only one who can shower him. They were great couple. Now, the wife became my friend. Gladly, they both liked my cooking. I cooked some Filipino food and they liked it. He passed away holding my hands.
From June 2021-March 2022. I took care of an 87 years old Female who was just recovering from Stroke and also has mild Dementia. She was wheelchair bound.

He was taken to the hospital then after he got discharged, he was brought to a nursing home where he stayed for 3 months and he didn't like it at all. He insisted to his family that he wants to go home. The daughter was searching for workers and was able to find me from the health workers hub online. After they hired me, We worked together harmoniously with the client and all the family members. I took care of their father full time. Because of my expertise and my nursing skills, it was a great bonus for my client and family because lots of times, I raised some medical issues to his family doctor which helped prevented some illness from getting worst. My client and i both loved gardening. Every spring, he asked me to prepare some seedlings and get it ready. I took him out at the backyard on a nice day, he sat on his chair watching me doing gardening. We planted different kind of vegetables. My client and all family members like my cooking and most of the time, they come to the house and eat in there. I also cut my client's hair, this way he save his time, money and effort to go to the barber. Every Remembrance Day, I took him to the Beechwood Cemetery where he always have to go and lay the wreath in memory of the Dead Soldiers. He was the one who made the Beechwood Cemetery as the Military Cemetery. He has a small garden just in front the Beechwood Cemetery and it's named under him, John David Roger. As years passed by, he became weaker and weaker until he got cough and colds, then it turned into pneumonia. The house call Doctor came to see him and said it's part of old age. We celebrated his birthday a month before he passed away. It was just the two of us in the room and he was holding my hands. He kept on pulling my hand and kiss it then hold it tight until i felt his hand got loosen and that was his last breath.
I also worked with a private agency and I looked after a Palliative client but she passed away after 6 months due to lung cancer. This was my part time client on my off days.

My contract with this employer and client ended but I still took care of her till she was taken by her son to Montreal to live with them.
September 2009-July 2010, I used to take care a severe spastic and quadriplegic adult. She was 19 years old then. It was really a close care.
