Dedicated health care assistant with a passion for patient care.
What I'm looking for
I am a highly organized and hardworking individual dedicated to excelling in the health care fraternity. With a Bachelor of Education Honours degree in Food and Nutrition, I have developed a strong foundation in health-related education and practical care. My experience as a caregiver has equipped me with the skills to provide compassionate support to patients, ensuring their comfort and well-being.
Throughout my career, I have cared for individuals with varying needs, including an 86-year-old woman with dementia and a 43-year-old man recovering from a severe car accident. I have assisted with daily activities, monitored medical supplies, and provided emotional support, all while maintaining a trusting relationship with patients and their families. My commitment to patient care is reflected in my ability to adapt to their needs and deliver personalized support.
In addition to my caregiving experience, I have a strong background in education, having served as a resident teacher and school first aider. I am passionate about promoting health and wellness among students and have received several accolades for my teaching excellence. I am eager to continue my journey in health care, contributing to a team that values empathy, patience, and a commitment to quality care.
