I finished a two-year contract as a homecare caregiver in a support services company here in Qatar last Dec.3.I renewed as I applied for Canada and was scammed. However,I will go to the Philippines for a vacation on Feb until March 2026.
I worked for 6 elderly clients, 5 bed-ridden and 1 abled, all with dibetes(four have dementia).Duties included administering medications, insulin shots, feeding (manual and enteral), catheter care, suctioning, bathing (bed/bathroom), grooming, dressing, vital signs monitoring, light housekeeping, exercises/massages, bed to wheelchair transfer (and vice versa), assist in ambulation and providung companionship.
I took care of a 68-year old cancer patient who underwent lateral mastectomy, radiation and then chemotheraphy.
I worked for an elderly who suffered stroke and was bedridden for 2 years. Duties included giving bed baths,assisting in dressing, grooming, feeding, mobility,transfers, and providing warm and loving companionship.
I want to be a senior caregiver as I was not able to take care of my grandmother and even my mother (I was here in Dubai most of the time she battled cancer and knew it 3 days before she left). I can know how they feel when they think they cannot function but at least I want them to be happy and positive for the remaining days of their live. I can be thay someone who listens to their childhood stories, adventures, failures and success. I want them to know and feel someone will listen and care for them even the world outside is moving their own pace.
