What I'm looking for

I seek a compassionate, safety-focused role where I can provide ADL support, implement individualized care plans, collaborate with healthcare teams, and continue professional growth in patient-centered care.

I am a proactive Personal Support Worker with hands-on experience assisting clients with ADLs, transfers, meal planning, and emotional support, grounded in formal PSW training from Centennial College and a background in nutrition. I consistently follow care plans, document client progress, and communicate with healthcare teams to ensure safety and coordinated care.

I bring certified CPR/First Aid and Food Handler training, experience implementing individualized care strategies, and a strong focus on dignity, independence, preference, privacy and safety (DIPPS). I am adaptable, safety-conscious, and committed to enhancing patient well-being through compassionate, detail-oriented support.
