Elder Care in Oshawa, Ontario

I'm an
Individual
I am a fully trained Personal Support Worker looking to provide you or your loved ones with the care they need. Along side my PSW certificate, I graduated with my Gentle Persuasive Approach certificate, The Alzheimer's Society: Living with Dementia Workshop certificate and Food Safety Training certificate. I have been doing in-home care for the past 4 years working for a nationwide company through the Durham location. I provided government regulated medical services as well as light duty cleaning for individuals in need of care. Prior to this I was trained and worked casual labour on a total-care dementia unit at a local long-term care home. I now would like to offer private care to allow the individual to make decisions based on their actual needs. I am an outgoing individual with a love for life. I am well-organized and enjoy being around a variety of people. Prior to becoming a PSW, I spent the past 20 years as a hairstylist, am very creative and have excellent time-management skills. As a stylist I am trained in customer service, inventory control, hospital level sanitation and marketing. I have experience with both Early On-set Alzheimer's and Multi-Infarct Vascular Dementia on a personal level and enjoy spending time with individuals within this field. I have a clear understanding of the Ontario Sensory Behavioural program and use this when caring for a dementia patient. As a PSW I have been contracted by individuals or their families to provide extra care on my own time that was not regulated by the government contracts such as cleaning, window washing, dog walking and hair services. I am a firm believer that the individual knows what they need and services should reflect that. I am also a pet-friendly person and do not mind their company while offering services. I am open-minded when it comes to offering my services and anything not listed of course can be discussed. The following is a list of services: - cleaning;daily, weekly, monthly or spring cleaning - personal assistance; bathing, dressing, shopping - gardening - pet services; dog walking, feeding, cleaning up after, groomimg - adult caregiving; for families who need someone to stay with their loved ones with dementia - haircuts Allow me to be the one to help take care of you or your loved ones. I am a responsible person who instead of looking at you like a contract will treat you like a member of my own family. Please feel free to contact me via phone or text at 905-396-... or email me at [email protected].
