Senior caregiver
|
I have two years of experience as a volunteer caregiver. During my time as a caregiver, I learned to administer medication, monitor a person’s condition and adjust the care I provided to their needs. I also prepared meals to accommodate dietary restrictions and accompanied a person to medical appointments. I have also worked as a Dog Walker in the past. I learned to update pet owners on the state of their pets, notify them of any issues, and collaborate with them to carry out solutions. As a shelter volunteer, I learned to clean and maintain a shelter and create environments that were safe and comfortable. I also learned to monitor the condition of the animals, and to use methods to avoid the spread of infections.
A patient communication style, attention to detail, and compassionate approach are some of the things I bring to caregiving. I believe seniors have a lot to teach us, and am motivated to promote their autonomy. I am also certified in CPR and in principles of safe movement of people.
