I am a dedicated and compassionate nursing professional with experience across various levels of care. I hold a Diploma in Nursing (Enrolled Nurse) from Tygerberg Hospital School of Nursing and a certificate in Nursing Auxiliary from AFM Nursing School of Sarepta. I also completed a certificate in Basic Home Care Nursing, with a focus on general care, geriatric care, first aid, and HIV/AIDS support. My work experience includes roles as an Enrolled Nurse in Obstetrics at Tygerberg Hospital, where I managed and administered medication, prepared patients for theatre, provided continuous pre- and post-operative care, inserted urinary catheters, and supported postpartum mothers with family planning and breastfeeding.
I was honoured to receive the award for Best Clinical Performance in Obstetrics in 2017. I’ve also worked as an Auxiliary Nurse at Gatesville Medical Centre, where I delivered basic nursing care in obstetrics, paediatrics, and general medical wards. Earlier in my career, I served as a Health Care Assistant for New Hope Nursing Agency, assisting with daily hygiene, feeding, mobility, and emotional support, particularly for elderly and mental health patients.
Currently I am assisting as the physical home nurse assessor for CareChamp in the Cape Town region. This includes doing home care assessments and care plan creation as well as required nursing procedures. I also ensure to identify the best suitable caregiver(s) for our clients.
