Hello, My name is Shohta. I am looking for a position as a caregiver for the elderly and I feel confident providing all aspects of care for children and the elderly. I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue my work with people in need. I am currently attending a private vocational school, TLC-Edmonton Training for Foreign Caregivers. TLC-Edmonton is a Government registered program, where I am learning about nutrition, cooking, communication, CPR and First Aide and care for; infants, children, the elderly and the disabled. I love continually learning new skills in my work with people and have extensive experiences in this field. I also enjoy activities such as cooking, drawing, reading, physical activity, and self development. For over ten years I have been playing the piano and continually find myself playing piano for others to enjoy.

I have 10+years of experience providing care for Elderly and Disabled People. I have cared for my grandparents who had dementia, stroke about 8 years, and volunteered as caregiver for people with dementia, Alzheimer, cancer, and disabilities for about 2 years in Japan and Edmonton. I always enjoyed taking care of them. I feel confident providing all aspects of care for the elderly. I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue my work with people in need. Additional Experiences/Qualifications: In Japan I have obtained certification as a Welfare officer for individuals with mental disabilities and I have obtained certification for the well being of elderly and disabled people. After graduating from university, I took a 6-months training in Counseling at the Workplace. This course taught me important interpersonal skills that I can draw from in communicating with individuals that are struggling with a mental illness or other emotional challenges.
