My Name is Natasha and I am your #1 Elder Care Companion
|
I am looking for a position where I can make a difference in others lives, and help those who are truly in need.
I am a Natural Nutrition Health Coach and work part time at the Guelph General Hospital in Nutrition Services. I realized that I would be a great fit for an elderly companion position because I thoroughly enjoy spending time with elders and helping them with their day-to-day tasks. I have gained bonds between elderly patients at the hospital because I have such a soft spot for them. There are many patients at the hospital with early dementia, or Alzheimer’s and they are very confused. I like to keep them company on breaks and for a short time after my shifts, take them on walks with me, sit and play games, or just simply have a conversation with them to keep them company. It is when they are lonely that they panic, and get upset. My nutrition background is also a major asset because I can make nutritious meals according to their needs. I most definitely can separate my personal and professional relationships, but I care for them as if they are my own family. Besides the hospital, I have volunteered in Dundas taking patients to and from their rooms, to appointments, activities, and meals.
