Hello! I am Nicole, a seasoned and passionate healthcare professional based in North York. Over the past decade, I have cultivated an extensive skill set in the senior care domain. My commitment towards developing tailored care approaches is backed by my versatile availability throughout the week.
My practical experience covers a variety of duties from domestic chores like housekeeping to personal care, such as grooming, dressing, and toileting. I specialize in dementia and palliative care, drawing from my comprehensive training and deep empathy.
Safety in my practice is my absolute priority, as testified by my First Aid and CPR certifications. My expertise spans a myriad of diagnoses including dementia, Alzheimer's, Cancer, Diabetes, and quadriplegic care. I have honed this diverse experience across clinics, hospitals, retirement homes, and home healthcare.
Alongside my focus on senior care, I also specialized in the care of children with disabilities. This involves creating engaging activities while ensuring a safe environment. Multilingual in English, French, and Italian, I effortlessly communicate with clients of different cultural backgrounds.
I offer supplementary services like swimming supervision, maintaining a smoke-free environment, and companionship. My expertise also includes planning and coordinating appointments, social outings, and applying a holistic approach to care. Rest assured, with police verification and a readiness for discussions about suitable arrangements, your or your loved one's care is my primary concern.
With acquired certifications such as Caregiver/Companion, Personal Support Worker (PSW), and Home Support Worker, along with First Aid and CPR certificates, I am well-prepared to assist in everything from companionship to physically demanding tasks like patient lifting and transfer.
Availing my abundant caregiving abilities, I am looking for full-time, live-out engagements- prioritizing your satisfaction and comfort. As a mother, my nurturing approach extends to children with disabilities as I continually aim to create an environment rich in understanding, compassion, and solid relationships with patients and their families. Rest assured, my dedication and commitment persist unwavering. I am postured to start immediately, providing consistent coverage all week.
