What I'm looking for

I seek a supportive environment that values teamwork and personal growth.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Personal Support Worker with a strong commitment to enhancing the well-being of residents in long-term care facilities. My experience includes collaborating with healthcare professionals to deliver personalized care that respects the dignity, privacy, and individuality of each resident. I have a proven track record of advocating for residents' needs and ensuring their preferences are incorporated into their care plans.

Throughout my career, I have developed excellent communication and interpersonal skills, allowing me to build rapport with residents and their families. My adaptability to diverse cultural backgrounds has been instrumental in providing respectful and effective support. I am also committed to continuous learning and professional development, as evidenced by my ongoing education in Social Work at Toronto Metropolitan University.
