Elder Care in Dundas, Ontario

To Whom it may Concern, Are you looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy individual that has some experience in elderly care? Then look no further! I would like to submit my application for the Elderly caregiver/companion position at visiting angels. I am looking for a position where I can make a difference in others lives, and help those who are truly in need. I am a Natural Health Coach and work part time at the Guelph General Hospital in Nutrition Services. I realized that I would be a great fit for an elderly companion position because I thoroughly enjoy spending time with elders and helping them with their day-to-day tasks. I also have 5 years of experience in this field with clients working in hospitals and volunteering at retirement homes. I have gained bonds between elderly patients at the hospital because I have such a soft spot for them. There are many patients at the hospital with early dementia, or Alzheimers and they are very confused. I like to keep them company on breaks and for a short time after my shifts, take them on walks with me, sit and play games, or just simply have a conversation with them to keep them company. It is when they are lonely that they panic, and get upset. At the hospital, my duties are making meal trays based on the patients diets, diabetic snacks, tube feeds, menu items/quality, food delivery etc. I have gained some personal relationships outside of work with some patients, as I would spend time with those who dont have families around on my breaks like explained above. I most definitely can separate my personal and professional relationships, but I care for them as if they are my own family. Besides the hospital, I have volunteered at St. Josephs Villa in Dundas taking patients to and from their rooms, to appointments, activities, and meals. It is my sole passion to make a difference in others lives and help those who are in need. I am willing to do many things such as, help with personal care, cook nutritious meals, clean their house, take to appointments/activities, go for walks etc. I am pretty open to what I can do within this position. I promise I will exceed your expectations and very flexible. With my heart-felt personality and experience I believe I would be a great fit for this position. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing my future endeavors. Thank you very much for your time, Natasha Jones
