Elder Care in Hamilton, Ontario

Dear Sir or Madam: I am a Cuban doctor (I live in Cuba at the moment) who is seeking a caregiver position in Canada for the elderly and ill people (regardless of their age). I am a 35-year old male, physically fit, non-smoker, and quite capable of performing all the duties required for this job including assisting prospective clients with activities of daily living and personal care. I will be happy to work with either English or Spanish speaking clients. My compassionate and caring nature combined with my extensive education, medical knowledge and five years of hands-on experience as an ER doctor, a medical practitioner and a caregiver make me a perfect candidate for this position. Furthermore, my friendly demeanor, patience, enthusiasm and professional attitude have always made my patients comfortable with me instantly and it is this trust factor that assists me in providing them with the services that they need and deserve. Helping those who have trouble taking care of themselves and giving them my undivided attention as a medical professional - is what makes my world complete. Finally, working in the country like yours would be a privilege and honour, and I am sure as a doctor I have a lot of abilities and knowledge that would be very beneficial to those Canadians who need the best care and support. I look forward to hearing from you. I will be happy to answer all your questions and tell you how I can relate my skills with your requirements. Please contact me by email or phone at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours truly, Didier 1.
