Summary

A compassionate and dedicated caregiver with extensive experience providing personal support, household management, and emotional care. Over four years of hands-on experience as a nanny, housekeeper, and caregiver for a stroke patient have equipped me with strong patient care, safety, and communication skills. I am eager to transition into a Home Support Worker role where I can continue positively impacting individuals' well-being.
