Dedicated caregiver and activities assistant with diverse experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with extensive experience in caregiving and activities coordination. My journey began in the food service industry, where I honed my skills in customer service and team management at Knights Smokehouse BBQ and JC Golf Resorts. These roles taught me the importance of teamwork and effective communication, which I carry into every position I hold.
Transitioning into the healthcare sector, I have spent several years as an Activities Assistant and Caregiver at Pacifica Senior Living AltaVista and Activcare Senior Living. My responsibilities included organizing engaging activities for residents, providing personal care, and ensuring a supportive environment for those with special needs. I am passionate about enhancing the quality of life for seniors and continuously seek opportunities to grow and learn in this field.
