My name is Rebecca, a compassionate and dedicated Home Support Worker with two years of experience in caregiving. I began my journey in Kenya, where I worked for a year as a caregiver for the elderly, providing companionship, feeding, toileting, dressing, and ensuring their overall well-being.
Recently, I moved to Canada through the Home Support Worker Pilot program, I have a valid work permit and do not require sponsorship. For eight months, I worked for a paraplegic client, assisting with personal care, tracheostomy care, using a hoist for transfers, and monitoring vital signs. I then worked for a kidney dialysis patient and other elderly individuals where I managed medication schedules and serving meals, assisted with bathing, dressing and mobility needs and provided companionship and emotional support.
I am a hard-working individual who is passionate about supporting those in need. My ability to connect with clients, ensure their dignity, and make their daily lives easier is one of my strongest attributes. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends, walking, and exploring new places. My background as an extrovert allows me to build rapport quickly and create meaningful relationships with my clients.
I am committed to continuous learning and improving my caregiving skills to ensure the highest level of care for those I support.
