Career Profile
As a dedicated and compassionate Home Support Worker (PSW), I bring over 1.5 years of hands-on experience in caregiving at Shri Lakshmi Narayan Foundation Old Age home in Ahmedabad, India. My expertise encompasses compliance with essential regulations, including TB tests, immunizations, COVID-19 protocols, Vulnerable police checks, and First Aid-CPR certification.
My role involves assisting individuals with activities of daily living and ensuring their well-being through safe mobility transfers using advanced equipment and mechanical lifts. I prioritize safety by following strict protocols for both clients and myself and excel in communication, active listening, and conveying complex information effectively.
Education-wise, I am pursuing a Personal Support Worker program at Conestoga College in Kitchener, ON. I possess a range of skills, including patient care, effective communication, infection control, teamwork, and problem-solving. Additionally, I hold certifications in Hospice Palliative Care, Dementia Care approaches, TB testing, immunizations, police background checks, and First Aid-CPR.
In my previous position, I provided personal care services, assisted with mobility and exercises, offered emotional support, engaged in activities to enhance mental health, and maintained a safe living environment for clients. Upholding safety measures and infection control practices are non-negotiable in my caregiving approach.
With a commitment to exceptional care, empathy, and personal support, I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of individuals in need through my caregiving expertise.
