Elderly Care in Mount Wellington

| Throughout family life, studies, and career, I have honed three things: being a team player to achieve goals and uplifting each other, giving the best customer service thereby making clients happy and satisfied, and the fulfillment I feel in helping others live their best lives. Although I am currently studying at NZMA Manukau getting my certificate in Health and Wellbeing level 4, I have finished and got my National Certification in Caregiving 2 in the Philippines. I have also passed the literacy and numeracy assessment I took here in NZMA. I am patient and understanding to all, especially the elderly, as I always treat them as the elders in my family. Effective communication, compassion and attention to detail are my top skills.

| Hi Sir/Madam, I’m writing this to apply for the Caregiver/Healthcare Assistant position and attaching my CV for your preference. I’m extremely excited as my education fits the requirement for a healthcare assistant/support worker and caregiving job here in New Zealand. I am deeply passionate about doing an excellent job. I have an experience as Volunteer caregiver for 2 years and 2months in Philippines at Gozon birthing home clinic. Also, I have done my On-the-job training as a Health care assistant for Elderly (Dementia with health conditions), infants and maternity. I have been responsible to support Clients to do bathing, feeding, medication and other personal care. Moreover, I am knowledgeable with NGT, PEG, Colostomy care and management. I’m competent in terms of household chores and meal preparation. And, I’m also agile enough to work as a caregiver.

I am also confident that these skills, knowledge, and experience will help me to fulfil my duties as a healthcare assistant.

| I started of looking after my grandma and cared for her, gave her medicine, cooked, cleaning the house and driving her to where she needed to go to. And then I carried on to my mother giving her the same care. There are many benefits to working with the elderly. Caring for the elderly enables them to not worry about the things they cannot do anymore and celebrate the things that they can do or trying to do. It’s not only supporting them in their care needs, but also providing them with a valued friend and being there for them.

| Have worked as an energetic caregiver with various families and patients for 2 years. When working, sanitation is always first, ensuring that the family is satisfied with the home that protects them. Respectful and compassionate with children and elders. Goal is to assure clients that they are in a safe and comfortable environment in which they can express themselves.
