My name is Edlen and I am a dedicated caregiver based in Scarborough with over a year and two months of experience in home health care. My expertise lies in caring for patients with dementia, incontinence, hearing impairments, and those recovering from cataract procedures. I am a certified Caregiver/Companion and Personal Support Worker, and also hold First Aid and CPR certifications. My education extends to college level, ensuring a well-rounded knowledge base and skill set. In addition to my extensive experience with adult care, I am also trained in, and capable of, working with children with disabilities. My duties encompass a vast range of tasks, from personal care such as bathing and grooming assistance, to housekeeping tasks like vacuuming, cleaning bathrooms, and laundry. I am also able to run errands, prepare meals, assist with walking and positioning, and escort to appointments. My aim is to customize these services to meet your specific needs, thereby delivering the highest quality care. Whether you need a full-time or part-time caregiver, my services are available from Monday to Saturday, from morning till evening. I am ready to start immediately. While I primarily prefer working in home health care settings or retirement homes, I am open to other arrangements that do not require live-in conditions. With passion and patience, I strive to provide the best support for those in my care. Ensuring your well-being and comfort are my top priorities.

For over a year and two months, I had the privilege of working as a live-in caregiver for an elderly Italian couple. The husband was 80 years old, while the wife was 85. During my time with them, my daily responsibilities included preparing their meals, doing their laundry, and maintaining the cleanliness of their home through light housekeeping tasks. Additionally, I made sure they took the correct medications at the right times each day and helped them with their daily personal care routines, such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. In addition to these duties, I also provided companionship and emotional support to the couple. I would engage them in conversations, listen to their stories, and ensure they felt heard and respected. Furthermore, I accompanied them to their doctor appointments, offering assistance and ensuring they received the proper medical care and attention they needed. Overall, my experience as a live-in caregiver for this lovely Italian couple was incredibly rewarding. It allowed me to not only assist them with their daily tasks but also to build a trusting and caring relationship with them, making a positive impact on their lives.
