I have always admired people who turn their passion into a career. “If you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. ” This past 7 years I unexpectedly acquired a temporary contract position doing elderly care here in Israel. The experience was very gratifying: so much so, I am considering an entirely different career path from this point forward. My experience made me increasingly aware of the needs that many Senior’s have when daily tasks become difficult, which is something most of us will experience first-hand at some point. Things like meal preparation, house cleaning, laundry, errands, etc. I have been doing this for the last 7 years here in Israel in addition to working my “day job”. I hold within me an eagerness to help – it’s not forced, or self serving, but an honest to goodness drive to assist. It is second nature for me, and it brings me joy. Now it’s my turn to do what I love. If you are looking for assistance of loving nature, I may be the fit you're looking for.

My commitment to serving as an efficient and compassionate caregiver to elderly patients as well as my comprehensive experience in day-to-day personal assistance give me confidence in my ability to significantly benefit your team in this capacity. From assessing individual needs and coordinating services to providing social stimulation and administering treatments and direct care, my background has prepared me to excel in this role. My ability to connect with elderly patients and establish trusting relationships, along with my strong communication skills, position me to thrive as your next senior caregiver. Consider the following highlights of my qualifications: ▪︎ Registered Nurse in the Philippines. ▪︎1 year experience in the hospital. ▪︎Providing first-rate service and care for elderly patients for the past 7 years as a Private Duty Nurse here in Israel. ▪︎Preparing meals, assisting with bathing and hygiene, running errands, doing laundry, cleaning, driving, and aiding with exercise and physical therapy. ▪︎ Knowledge in using NGT Tube, suctioning and tracheal care, giving oral medication. ▪︎Performing first aid, taking vital signs, administering medications, and initiating emergency response procedures when necessary. ▪︎Utilizing various lifts and transports, including Hoyer Lift, wheelchairs, and stair lifts. ▪︎Observing, tracking, and documenting any changes in patients health, behavior, and emotional state. ▪︎Establishing solid and trusting relationships through exceptional communication and interpersonal skills and an empathic and supporting attitude. With my extensive previous experience in elderly patient care, complemented by my dedication to providing critical assistance and support to those in need, I believe I could swiftly surpass your expectations for this role. The opportunity to discuss the position in further detail would be most welcome.
