Elder Care in Victoria, British Columbia

I am writing to express my interest in serving as an Elderly Live-in Caregiver. I am a Registered Nurse in the Philippines and have been working as a Live-in Caregiver here in Victoria, Canada. I had more than 6 month-experience working in a nursing home in Kings Lynn, England, UK. I am very familiar with both hospital and continuing care environments. My background in healthcare, as well as my ability to learn quickly and apply knowledge effectively, would make me a valuable asset to any healthcare setting. I received my BSN degree in Nursing from Silliman University, Dumaguete City, Philippines in 2005 and have worked at various backgrounds in healthcare consistently receiving outstanding evaluations. I have been able to see first hand the excellent quality of patient care, the cooperative multi-disciplinary approach, and progressive techniques from the different working environments. I have also served as a clinical instructor in a well established institution in my country of origin and have collaborated with procedural committees and enjoyed taking an active role in organizational development. I would be delighted for the opportunity to discuss with you personally how my skills and strengths can best serve your healthcare program. You can schedule me for an appointment mutually convenient for us to further discuss my qualifications. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you.
