Hi, I'm Elaine, a semi-retired teacher who enjoys helping others in my spare time. With my cheerful personality and keen sense of humour, my aim is to brighten up the lives of those I care for. I have 2 years of experience in senior care, having served with genuine empathy and care. I am available to start working immediately, with preferred hours from Thursdays through Saturdays, in the morning, afternoon, evening, and even late into the night. I am comfortable in a live-out arrangement and seeking a part-time caregiving position to continue enriching the lives of the elderly. I am a non-smoker, with a valid driver's license. I own a vehicle, always ready to assist my clients in making trips for grocery runs or doctor appointments. Despite my age of 64, I am fit and can swim well. Therefore, leisurely activities won't be a problem! As a companion to your loved ones, we can explore a variety of interests from reading, playing board games, crafting, to taking pleasure in good music. I am looking for a role in Home Health Care where I can provide meaningful companionship to my clients. In terms of care-related duties, I can undertake a range of responsibilities, such as housekeeping, laundry, meal planning and preparation—it's important to me that my client's nutritional needs are met. I am also ready to assist with walking, do vacuuming, hand wash dishes and other errands. If needed, I can plan visits and outings to enable loved ones to stay socially active with neighbours, friends, and family. My credentials include a bachelor's degree, as well as First Aid and CPR certificates. Also, the authenticity of my Canadian citizenship can be verified with a police check. In summary, I am a compassionate and responsible caregiver mindful of the importance of promoting mental and emotional well-being in the seniors I look after.

I was a companion for an elderly lady in her home in Toronto for almost two years. I did some light housework, made her meals and kept her company throughout the day. On occasion I also drove her to complete errands.
