Hello, my name is Brian, a devoted healthcare professional residing in Edmonton. I am a 31-year-old male caregiver and personal support worker with over 4 years of significant experience in the field. My background and skills encompass various duties, including Oxygen Administration, Heavy Patient lifting & transfer, Dressing Grooming assistance, and Housekeeping among other functions.
In the past, I've had the privilege of working with patients diagnosed with conditions such as Dementia, Stroke and Speech Impairment, among others. This includes tending to bedridden individuals and those with special needs, a practice I've become adept at over time. Highlighting my week - I am available full-time, any day from Monday to Friday, covering all parts of the day.
I am endowed with relevant qualifications that include a Caregiver / Companion Certificate, a Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate, in addition to a CPR and First Aid Certificate. For your peace of mind, I have undergone a police check and I do not smoke. Plus, I am always ready to relocate or travel based on your needs and preferences. I possess a driver's license and excellent swimming skills just in case.
Given my fluency in English and my status as an African citizen, I bring a diverse cultural perspective to my work which can be valuable in connecting with a broad range of patients. My preferred places of work are Home Health Care, Retirement Homes, and Clinic / Hospitals, but I'm open to different settings based on your needs.
I am comfortable dealing with my charges' pets, making home visits, arranging outings, and even escorting patients to their appointments. I can competently plan, prepare meals, and do grocery shopping on behalf of the patients. I am also skilled in administering tube feeding, injections, and adept in care for those with Alzheimer's/Dementia, Parkinson's conditions, palliative care, and those needing lifts and transfers. I look forward to starting on 18.03.2024, and I am open to both live-in and live-out arrangements.
Looking forward to fostering a caring and professional relationship with you while providing the top-tier service you deserve.
I currently work with independent counselling enterprises (ICE), as a home support worker but part time
