My name is Mara, a dedicated and compassionate healthcare professional with 6 years of experience working in home health care. Being a caregiver is my vocation, and I genuinely treasure the opportunity to make a difference in people's lives. I believe I am skillful at making each of my clients feel comfortable, safe, and independent in their own homes while providing a comprehensive array of health support.
I am available for work in the evenings throughout the week and can render my services for extended hours during weekends. Should the need arise, I am willing and able to travel as I hold a valid driver's license and have my own vehicle.
Possessing a rich repertoire of nursing skills enables me to offer numerous duties including oxygen administration, heavy patient lifting, bathing and toileting assistance, range of motion exercise, meal planning, housekeeping, errands, escort to appointments, and more. Furthermore, I possess the ability to provide support for Alzheimer/Dementia care, Parkinson care, palliative care, lifts, and transfers, catheter/ colostomy care, and bed bath among others.
I have worked closely with patients diagnosed with a variety of conditions including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Dementia, Cancer, Stroke, Diabetes, Incontinence (diapers), Visual Impairment, Paralysis, Amputee, Decubitus Ulcers, Arthritis, Cataract Removal, Brain Tumor, and Malnutrition, to name a few.
Well versed in assisting with pet care and household chores like cleaning, laundry, and vacuuming, I am equally adept at patient positioning, tube feeding, and supervising the home overall. The pride I take in my job has earned me the praise of my past employers, and I promise to bring the same level of enthusiasm, dedication, and professional care to your home.
I am also comfortable working in various settings such as home health care, retirement homes, and clinics or hospitals. My credentials include a Caregiver / Companion, Health Care Aides (HCA) Certificate, Home Support Worker, First Aid Certificate, and a CPR Certificate. I am proficient in English, have a clean police check record, and hold Canadian citizenship.
Given the chance, I am eager to become a supportive and reliable part of your household or healthcare team. I can start immediately and am open to both full-time and part-time roles, provided it suits both parties. Your peace of mind, comfort, and health are my utmost priorities.
I have been working as a certified health care aid for over 6 years.
