Additional Information

I'm a teacher by profession and in good standing for the past nineteen years. I became an office assistant for an academic year because of my management background. I took care of my grandma who suffered Dementia for two years. I then developed the passion for Care. I later got a part-time job as a Carer at hospital I use to take my grandma for routine checks. I started online Care courses to gain proper knowledge and skills in Caregiving. I still work as a part-time carer and now want to develop it as a main career. I believe your health team can help me achieve that dream. I'm ever ready to receive training from your outfit to make me a good carer.
