PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
I am a dedicated and compassionate support worker with Five (5) years of experience providing personalized care and support to individuals of all ages. I am skilled at promoting a safe environment, independence, and client well-being.
My journey into the field of personal support work began at home, where I took on the role of caregiver for my mother during her health challenges. This firsthand experience deepened my understanding of the importance of compassionate care and ignited a passion to help others. This passion led me to pursue formal education and training in healthcare.
