I'm Javier , a postgraduate with honors in Community Development Work from Centennial College and a holder of an open work permit. I live in East York, Ontario with my wife and three sons aged 12, 5, and 3. My interests include chess, basketball, and reading about global politics and history. I’m applying for a Senior/Health or Child Care Worker position, leveraging over 25 years of experience in development work, inclusive of international volunteering and employment in the Philippines and worldwide. As a former Youth Development Professional in Massachusetts, USA, and a Volunteer Program Advisor in Mongolia, I developed research, reporting, and advocacy skills, adept in diverse and multicultural contexts. In my role as a Community Development Coordinator in the Philippines, I honed my skills in non-judgmental listening. Eager to acquire further experience in senior care, I am drawn to your organization due to its innovative, culturally sensitive delivery of services. I'm available for an interview at your convenience and have attached my updated resume for your review. Thank you.
