Why did you choose a career in Home-Based Personal Care?

”I have always wanted to work in a caring profession because helping people gives me purpose. Home-based care allows me to support people, especially seniors, in the place where they feel safest — their own home.”

In what skills area do you feel most qualified to be a caregiver?

”My strengths are daily personal care, emotional support and observation. I am confident in pressure sore prevention, hydration support, post-stroke care, family education, simple exercises and reporting early changes. I am patient, respectful and always maintain confidentiality.”

What makes you most excited about working with seniors?

”
I love seeing small improvements, like a client moving from bed to a chair or beginning to walk with support. Knowing that my care can help someone remain at home with their family is very rewarding.”

What are your main fields of study?

”
My main areas are First Aid, Home-Based Personal Care, Basic Palliative Care, Counselling and Family Support, Caregiver Wellness, and Referral Systems and Clinic Linkages.”
