Foreign Nurse and Personal Support Worker Offering Calm, Dignified In-Home Care

I am a Philippine registered nurse and trained personal support worker, and my career has followed one idea: care should feel steady, unhurried, and respectful. My nursing degree taught me to notice small changes in a person’s condition. My home care and long-term care work taught me that the same attention belongs in everyday routines.

I provide personal care within the personal support worker scope of practice: skin, hair, and mouth care, bathing, bowel and bladder care, safe positioning and movement, gentle exercise, basic wound care, feeding support including special diets, assistance with oxygen administration, and medication reminders. I perform specialized, client-specific procedures where my training and current competency are documented, and I record each client’s condition to company standards, reporting any change promptly.

I hold a Philippine nursing licence active since 2006 and have passed the registration examination for the provincial practical nurse pathway. My certifications include wound care practice for paraprofessionals, Gentle Persuasive Approaches, and CPR/AED Level C. Gentle Persuasive Approaches shapes how I work with people living with dementia: I offer reassurance rather than correction, give time, and protect dignity during personal care. In retirement residence roles I encouraged residents to join activities and offered emotional and social support to residents and families.

My background runs wider than one setting. I have worked as a staff nurse in outpatient clinics, a dental surgery assistant, a sterilization technician, and a clinic receptionist, so infection prevention, clean technique, and accurate records are second nature to me. I have also managed a food service team responsible for food safety and scheduling.

If you welcome me into your home, I will follow your routines, not replace them: safely, patiently, and with dignity.
