I am a trained nurse who has had experience in many areas of nursing. I prioritize dignity and compassion and enjoy the company of older people and the stories they have to tell. I am well organized and reliable, I provide a high level of physical and emotional support. I am patient and allow older people the time they need to communicate their needs and maintain their sense of independence by doing as much as they can for themselves with my help. I am confident in administering medications. I can assist in all activities of daily living and I am prepared to do housework and ensure that living areas are clean and safe. I am confident communicating with families and medical staff and know when to act quickly and responsibly in the case of an emergency.
