Introduction

This is how I would describe myself to you. I am not looking for a job, I am looking for a placement to fulfill a lifelong desire. Some women are born to be mothers, just instinctively knowing what to do and how to do it. When their newborn baby is placed in their arms, the knowledge of care just comes naturally. I was born to naturally and instinctively want to be an Carer of elderly person. Someone needing patience, assistance, unconditional care, compassion, friendship and companionship. I am in a transitional period in my life and would like to find the most suitable placement for myself and your elderly parent(s) and/or a parent with Alzheimer. I worked for a Urologist Dr. André Naudé at Panorama Mediclinic for 14 years until 2023, as his practice manager. I loved and lived for my job and treated every patient as if they were my own brother, sister and parent, but I have had a burning desire for most of my life. I cared for my Alzheimer Grandmother for 3 years in my 20's and was her primary caregiver until she passed away. We listened to music, went for long walks, read stories with adventure and excitement, played games, played with dough, did arts and craft projects, went on daytrips and ate many ice-creams at the beach. It was the absolute best and most special time. Then 25 years later I was the main caregiver for my Mother until she sadly passed away on 3 November 2023. The last 2 months of which I spent by her bedside and sadly gained immeasurable experience and knowledge during the end-of-life stage of her life. I have wanted to fulfill my passion and dream of caring for the elderly since I cared for my Grandmother. I realized I have the gift of incredible patience and understanding, which is required to care for an Elderly\Alzheimer person. I never realized what a special gift it was until much later in life when I understood that very few people possessed this trait or gift. I have done loads of Volunteering and self-study on Dementia/Alzheime disease/the elderly and their physical and emotional challenges through the years. Financially and with the level of commitment it requires, it has not been possible until now to pursue my passion and desire. My husband works in USA and returns every January for 1 month. We are now in the position, and I am now in the stage of my life, that I can focus fully on living out what I believe is part of my life purpose. I have completed my theoretical studies at Oasis Training Centre and currently completing my Practical hours at Amatis retirement Centre to get the correct certification by middle April. I realized this would be required to be able to be placed as a Homecare Caregiver. I would like to find a flexible placement for the time being, which could then turn into a permanent placement. This would then start once I have completed my practical hours and am available from Monday's to Sunday's as live-in and/or live out Caregiver. My practical hours are 4 days a week until middle April. This could be a good arrangement for someone that does not need a permanent Carer immediately or wants to first see if myself and your parent(s) is a good fit for each other. My total focus would be your parent for at least the next 2 years while my husband will be working permanently in USA. If you are looking for someone to treat your parent with the kindness, respect, compassion and the patience they deserve, I would love to meet with you and see I would be the right person to take care of and be a companion to your parent(s).
