Sylvia N.
Hello, my name is Sylvia, a skilled senior care professional with 4 years of experience and a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges faced by older adults. I am located in Victoria and I can start work immediately. I am available for full-time or part-time caregiving positions all week, from mornings to evenings. I specialize in providing a comprehensive range of senior care services, including personal care such as bathing and dressing, medication management, mobility assistance, and housekeeping. In addition, I am also available for grocery shopping, meal planning and preparation, errands, and escorting to appointments. I have a noted ability to develop and manage daily schedules and activities whilst also ensuring a safe and comfortable living environment for seniors. Highly empathetic and patient, I take pride in my excellent observation skills which allow me to monitor and promptly report any changes in health or behavior. I excel in effectively interacting with seniors, their families, and healthcare professionals using my strong interpersonal and communication skills. Throughout my career, I have worked with several conditions such as Parkinson's, Dementia, Stroke, Diabetes, Incontinence, Paralysis, Amputee, Arthritis, and Malnutrition, providing the best possible care according to the needs of each individual. I am also experienced in lifts and transfers, bed bath, palliative care, and supervising homes. As for my educational background, I have a college degree complemented by various certifications, including a CPR Certificate, First Aid Certificate, Home Support Worker, and Caregiver / Companion. My experience and education make me a strong candidate for caregiving or personal support worker roles in home health care or retirement homes. Patient, empathetic, and compassionate, I am motivated by the opportunity to provide emotional support and companionship to seniors, offering a considerate understanding of their unique needs and possible challenges. My goal remains to create an organized living space that ensures comfort and safety while promoting their overall well-being.
