Caregiver/Companion
|
To Whom It May Concern,
I am very interested in working more with the elderly. I am a kind, honest, fun, compassionate person, a terrific listener and love my job! My experience is as follows:
Several years ago I worked with a lady who resided at a Lodge in West Vancouver. She had dementia and was in the hospital ward. I fed her, kept her company and helped her with grooming.
Another lady I looked after in her own home in West Vancouver. I made meals, did light housework, and drove her to errands and appointments. She has Alzheimer's, and gets confused easily.
I also worked as a caregiver for a lovely client who had a stroke and dementia, and was also prone to seizures. I kept her company, fed her, changed her, and bathed her. Also did light housework and pick up supplies as required.
One of my other clients, is 83 lives in her own home. She has dementia, depression, and has a horrible back and stomach pain. I made meals, and did dishes and laundry, and was a companion on outings.
I also worked as a caregiver to a gentleman at Evergreen in North Vancouver. He has water on the brain and has balance and memory issues, he is in a wheel chair. I feed and groom him, and take him out for fresh air and outings.
Another client is 90 and lives at a Gardens, and I have more a companion role with her. We go for outings, chat, and play Rummy Tiles.
I have been working as a Caregiver/Companion for over seven years part time. While my other past experience on my resume has been in an office setting, it has always been dealing with people. I really do love my work, and know I make a big difference in the quality of my client's lives. I would like to meet with you, so I can share my enthusiasm and compassion in this field.

Kind Regards,
Cathy
PS: I also have my first aid/cpr course, and recent criminal record check.
