Dear Sir/Madam
I'm writing to express my interest in the healthcare assistant position at your facility. My knowledge as a healthcare assistant is a strong match for responsibilities pertaining this role, and I'm pleased to submit my resume for consideration. I have worked with many different patients and families, providing care and support. I have gained extensive experience in providing care to patients of all ages. In my previous role, I was responsible for providing personal care, such as monitoring patients condition, bathing and grooming. I have experience with a wide range of patients, from those who are relatively healthy to those who are terminally ill. I also served as a primary caregiver to an elderly patient. As she was getting old and diagnosed with various chronic diseases, she needed a lot of assistance with most day-to-day functions. I took it upon myself to be her caregiver. I am patient, compassionate, and reliable, and I have a strong commitment to providing quality care. I am also comfortable working independently and I'm able to manage my time effectively. I am excited to bring my skills and experience, and to help contribute to the success and growth of your facility. Thank you for your time and consideration of my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely
Thandekile Mhlanga
