Compassionate healthcare assistant dedicated to improving patient well-being.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am a compassionate and dedicated Healthcare Assistant with a strong background in patient care, seeking to provide exceptional support to individuals in need of home-based care or healthcare facilities. My experience includes handling critical care, post-operative recovery, and supporting elderly clients with daily living activities. I am committed to improving patient comfort, safety, and well-being through thoughtful care and compassionate service.
Throughout my professional journey, I have developed a diverse skill set that includes administering medication, monitoring vital signs, and providing emotional support. My recent role as a Home-Based Caregiver involved comprehensive care for an elderly woman, where I ensured her comfort and dignity while managing her health conditions. Additionally, my internship at Avenue Hospital allowed me to gain hands-on experience in patient care, particularly in post-operative and psychiatric settings, further enhancing my ability to provide quality care.
With a Bachelor of Secondary Education and various certifications in patient care, I am well-equipped to contribute positively to any healthcare team. I believe in the importance of empathy and communication in caregiving, and I strive to create a supportive environment for all my patients.
