What I'm looking for

I seek a caregiving role where I can provide compassionate, safety-focused daily care, use my plumbing/maintenance skills to support facilities, work independently, and grow within a team-oriented organization.

I am a dedicated homecare provider trained at BIPS Technical College, combining strong caregiving skills with technical problem-solving from years as a freelance plumber. I deliver patient-centered daily care including personal hygiene, mobility support, medication reminders, vital-sign monitoring, and light housekeeping.

My plumbing background (2011–2024) gives me practical mechanical and safety skills—installing, repairing, and maintaining plumbing systems, diagnosing faults, and performing preventive maintenance. I apply this attention to detail and safety focus to caregiving tasks and equipment such as oxygen systems and mobility aids.

I am known for reliability, clear communication, and the ability to work independently in diverse environments while documenting and reporting client changes professionally. I seek roles where I can provide compassionate care and contribute practical technical skills to ensure client safety and comfort.
