my name is Karthiga and I am a 39-year-old woman with 3 years of experience in senior/health care. I am passionate about providing quality care and support to individuals in need. I am available for work on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday during the middle of the day. I am able to relocate and travel as necessary, and I have a valid driver's license and my own vehicle for transportation. I do not smoke and I have a valid work permit. Although I am unable to swim well, I am a dedicated and responsible caregiver. I have children of my own and I am comfortable working with them, but I do not have experience with children with disabilities. I am seeking part-time employment in the field of personal support work. I have received education and certifications as a Caregiver/Companion and hold a Personal Support Worker (PSW) Certificate, Home Support Worker Certificate, First Aid Certificate, and CPR Certificate. I have also attended college. As a personal support worker, I am capable of performing a variety of duties, including housekeeping, laundry, grocery shopping, meal planning and preparation, running errands, and providing assistance with personal care such as bathing, dressing, and grooming. I am also experienced in Alzheimer's and dementia care, palliative care, and working with patients with Parkinson's disease. I have the ability to administer injections, provide tube feeding, and handle delicate tasks such as catheter and colostomy care. I am skilled in patient positioning, oxygen administration, and other medical procedures. I am comfortable with heavy lifting and transfers, and I have experience working with patients who require the use of a Hoyer lift. I am seeking employment in home health care, retirement homes, or clinics/hospitals. I have worked with patients with a range of diagnoses, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, cancer, stroke, bedridden individuals, hospice care, diabetes, incontinence, osteoporosis, visual impairment, paralysis, amputees, decubitus ulcers, arthritis, chemotherapy/radiation treatment, hearing impairment, fractured hip, hepatitis, cataract removal, brain tumor, malnutrition, ventilator dependence, quad/paraplegic care, speech impairment, congestive heart failure, dialysis, shingles, and pneumonia. I am seeking long-term employment opportunities where I can make a positive impact on the lives of those I care for. Thank you for considering me for your senior/health care needs.

These tasks my usually involve providing personal care such as bathing, oral hygiene, and toileting; helping them with dressing, grooming, and eating; and assisting with ambulation, positioning, and transferring (using devices like a Hoyer lift).
