My name is Karen, and I am an OPSWA-registered Personal Support Worker with a Health Care Assistant Certificate and HSCPOA registration in Ontario. I have direct experience supporting seniors through my practicum at Suncrest Retirement Facility in BC, where I provided compassionate, person-centered care — assisting with activities of daily living, mobility, dementia support, and companionship. What drives me most is helping residents feel respected, comfortable, and cared for in every moment. I take pride in being dependable, gentle, and attentive to each person’s emotional and physical needs. I’m currently in North York and available for overnight, live-in, or flexible shifts. I would be grateful for the opportunity to bring my skills and dedication to your care team and continue growing in this field as I work toward my long-term goal of becoming a nurse.
