Experienced community support worker and homeshare provider in Langford
| I started my career working with youth with disabilities as a lifeguard and event coordinator. Some 8 yeas later, around 2016 while living in Calgary, I got back into community support work taking youth out for rock climbing and hiking adventures in the Rocky Mountains. Right now I have one community support client and am looking for another community support client or a homeshare situation. I'm comfortable with transportation and I have access to a hobby farm with horses, chickens, ducks and other animals I often take my clients to. My horse likes being groomed and there are friendly dogs and cats there as well who like being pet. My usual routine with my current client is to go to the farm for a visit, then back to my house for some painting followed by a movie and/or some games on the nintendo switch until it's time to go home. Something similar to this would be my ideal situation with a future client. I have auditory, light sensitivities and chronic pain issues so I tend to avoid taking on clients where I will need to take them out to shops, appointments etc on a routine basis as I get overstimulated and it tires me out disproportionately. Though I'm happy to help with this kind of thing every once and a while.

Gayle is a wonderful, pet-loving person! She was looking after our dog, cat and house on two occasions for several days and a week at the time. Our pets and we were so happy to have her as she is a fully reliable person who brings her entire heart to the job. Whenever when we go away and can't take our 'babies' we want her back. Highly recommended."

Care Taker
| Throughout my special needs aide work I have assisted a large range of individuals who all came with unique and different abilities and attitudes. I have learned how to handle physical disabilities through proper assistance techniques (lifts, transfers, cleanups, seizure handling). I have also become skilled at reading mental distress and picking up on the needs of verbal and non-verbal individuals. I have found that the most important way for individuals who demonstrate attitude or behavioural problems was to show that you care and are there to assist in any way you can, if even only just to listen. I am very personable, love to participate in any and all activities, especially ones that draw interest and enthusiasm so I can help achieve the most rewarding experience possible.

I have been teaching Kids with special needs payback in Philippines. am taking care of Autistic
| As an experienced caregiver, I am absolutely passionate about working with children. The innate curiosity, boundless creativity, pure emotions, and immense capacity for growth that children possess are endlessly inspiring to me. Engaging with young minds, nurturing their development, and supporting their emotional needs is deeply fulfilling work. At the moment, I am not seriously considering any other job opportunities outside of childcare and caregiving roles. My heart is truly in this field, and I cannot imagine doing anything else. The joy and meaning I derive from guiding and shaping young lives is unparalleled. That said, I am always open to exploring new and exciting possibilities that could further enhance my skills and impact as a caregiver. If there were opportunities to work in specialized settings, such as with children with special needs or in an educational capacity, I would be very interested in learning more. However, my primary focus remains on finding the ideal nanny position where I can continue to do the work I am most passionate about.
