SUMMARY
An experienced care assistant with over 12 years of experience in working with persons with mental condition, chronic diseases and general health aspects.
Strong advocate in upholding professionalism and high standards of work ethics.
I am an adaptable care worker who has learnt how to take care of the sick from a very close family member (my father). That experience taught me that the best any sick person deserves is care. I have from that time been a volunteer care worker in my community assisting the disabled, the sick and people with different health problems for 12 years. I have an excellent understanding of promoting privacy and dignity while enhancing independence and rehabilitation for patients in the friendliest and conducive environment. I have without doubt proven to be able to handle the most emotionally and physically draining care patients whilst helping them to regain, restore and develop new skills that will help them live their lives independently and confidently. I am now looking for a more challenging care worker position with a caring and reputable company.
