With 6 years of working experience, I am dedicated to providing exceptional care and support to individuals in need. I am available to start immediately and can accommodate various schedules throughout the week.
I reside in North York and hold a driver's license with access to my own vehicle, allowing me to efficiently commute to and from work. Additionally, I am a non-smoker and prioritize maintaining a clean and healthy environment for those under my care. While I may not be an excellent swimmer, my focus is always on ensuring the safety and well-being of my clients.
As a mother myself, I have experience with children and am equipped to work with individuals with disabilities. I have undergone training and possess certifications in Caregiving/Companion, Personal Support Worker (PSW), Home Support Worker, First Aid, and CPR.

In terms of employment, I am seeking a full-time position as a caregiver/companion and prefer a live-out arrangement. I am proficient in various household tasks such as housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, and meal planning/preparation. I am also skilled in providing specialized care such as Alzheimer's and dementia care, palliative care, Parkinson's care, and tube feeding. Furthermore, I have experience assisting with bathing, dressing, toileting, and range of motion exercises.
I am comfortable working in home health care settings or retirement homes, and have worked with individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, cancer, stroke, and various other conditions. My previous clients have included those with visual impairments, paralysis, amputations, and hearing impairments, among others.
Rest assured, I have undergone a police check and hold African citizenship. I am fluent in both English and French, allowing me to effectively communicate with clients from diverse backgrounds.
