Elder Care in Kirkland, Quebec

I'm an
Individual
My name is Marla. I'm interviewing for an in home caregiver position. I'm planning to apply my abilities as an in home caregiver. I can be available as needed. I am a 58 year old female looking for part time work as a companion/ gentle care giver. I recently worked with a senior lady where I prepared light meals, medications, offered companionship, accompanied her to appointments and assisted with showering. She has since moved into a full care facility. I also worked very closely with my Father for many years until he passed away from complications due to his Dementia. During his last year, I learned a great deal from the incredible PABs and Nurses who cared for him. I realized then, that I had a special kind of patience with my Father and all the other patients on his floor. I found it very rewarding bringing a little joy to these seniors and it filled my heart. I was given a letter of recommendation from the Head Social Worker of The Lakeshore General Hospital, as she was insistent that Senior Caregiving was my calling. I am kind and gentle, and very empathetic. I can place myself in the situation of someone needing care, and remember how lovingly I would want to be treated. My background is mostly in Meeting Organizing and Event Planning. Music is a huge part of my life, especially the old standards that brought so much joy to my Father, when moments got tense. I believe that music heals. My interests are swimming and Musical Theater, and as a pastime; I relax with an adult Coloring Book or a Crossword puzzle. Service Abilities: I am comfortable doing administering medication, assessments, and help with mental heath. On top of this, I am willing to travel. I have extensive prior history in the role. How To Contact Me: 438-928-... or Send a message and I'll reply within 7 days.
