I have been a medical laboratory technician for past six years that was in Africa and am married and as I have moved to Canada I have three years' experience as a personal support worker in Quebec . In my previous roles, I helped patients in nursing homes and hospitals get the quality care services they needed. I learned that humour is a personal support worker's greatest asset and time management skills are important.
