Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate, First Aid Certificate, CPR Certificate

I have over 10 years of experience caring for my aging parents in Vancouver, BC. My 94-year-old dad lives independently at home with my sister. I help care for him long-distance while she is at work or taking care of herself. When I lived in Vancouver, I was directly involved in the geriatric, Alzheimer’s, and long-term care journey with my mom. I kept my siblings informed of her progress and eventual decline with dignity. Having raised a wonderful daughter (who is now a nurse), I have found many similarities (and also many differences) between caring for aging parents and raising a child. When taking care of seniors, it is important to respect their status, include them in their care plan, tap into their knowledge, and bring fun back into their lives to provide compassionate care. As a caregiver and mother, I understand that burnout is a real issue. It can be challenging to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of humor when we are caring for our parents, children, work, marriage, and ourselves all at the same time. I wish I had learned about respite care earlier. As an entrepreneur who loves meeting new people, traveling, exploring eateries and cultural spots, I have considered becoming a Dementia Doula or pursuing a related field. By utilizing my love for life and over 10 years of experience, I aim to provide the support and reassurance that your family may need in the care of your loved one. They deserve to maintain a dignified and comfortable quality of life in their senior years. I'm a business consultant from Vancouver, BC. I've gone through the geriatric, Alzheimer’s and LTC journey with my mom. Now that I'm based in Toronto, I help care for my dad long-distance. I'd like to apply my learnings to a caring family here.
