Elder Care in Surrey, British Columbia

September 27, 2012 To whom it may concern, I am applying for a position as a Nanny/Adult Caregiver. I have various experiences supporting elderly, adults and children with disabilities and their families. The rewarding experiences always bring excitement for me to help individuals and families. It would be a privilege to work with you. I can work as soon as possible at your convenience. Distance for me is no problem as I am noted for my promptness and faithfulness. I am enclosing the requested resume. My experiences and training would make me a valuable asset to you. I provided holistic care to residents with disabilities to do their ADLs and perform other RCA duties. I safely operated mechanical aids, mechanical lifts, ceiling lifts, and the stand-up lift. I assisted maintaining safe environment for residents and staff. I had 2 months RCA clinical experience, 3 months hospital Care Giver experience, and 5 years providing care to individuals with special needs. I volunteered in supporting my grandmother who died at 108 during personal and family visits. I volunteered to support a lady with sciatic pain and her husband who was exhibiting early dementia, and two ladies with emotional and mental disability. You would benefit from my professionalism, caring attitude and my ability to connect with others. I believe in training and personal development to be of better service to others. I believe these qualifications make me a good candidate for the job described in your job post. I look forward to hearing from you to discuss how my qualifications and experiences may benefit you.
