My name is Soheila and I have been a caregiver for both children and seniors for over 25 years. I was a nurse back home for 10 years and I arrived in Canada and was raising my two children and I obtained my PSW so I can support my family and I. I love to go on walks as well as go outside and be in nature. I was born in Iran and came to Canada over 25 years ago. I love music, reading, and singing. Being around children energizes me and being with seniors gives me gratitude for life. I have taken care of people my whole life because I believe that is my purpose. I would love to be of assistance to you and your family in this new year.
