My name is Hennessy, and I am a Healthcare Assistant based in Victoria, BC. I began my caregiving journey in 2022 while completing my Healthcare Assistant training and have since gained experience in long-term care, geriatric mental health, hospital care, private caregiving, and palliative care. I am compassionate, dependable, and patient, with a strong commitment to providing safe, person-centered care that promotes dignity, comfort, and independence. I enjoy building meaningful relationships with clients and their families and take pride in making a positive difference in the lives of those I support. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, and drug-free. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, photography, and staying active outdoors.
