Melissa

I'm originally from Cape Town, currently living in Plumstead and I was born in 1973.

I speak English.

I am loyal, honest and have excellent work ethics.

In 2004, whilst on a working visa in Nottingham, England, I gained five months work experience at Adbolton Nursing and Residential home. In my youth, I also did volunteer work with the disabled at Protea Sports Club, Retreat.

I have so much respect for the elderly and understand how much courage it takes to get on with life in the face of struggle or disability.

I have recently completed and passed the following courses with excellent results: First Aid Level 1, First Aid Level 3, the Basic Home-Based Care and the Advanced Home-Based Care courses through St Johns.

I know that I want to be involved in care work and to make a positive difference in the lives of others.

I currently stay in Johannesburg.

I am originally from Nigeria and was born in 1988.

I speak English.

I consider myself to be a patient, loyal, and easygoing person who shows a lot of empathy towards others and enjoys engaging and uplifting others.

I am a qualified "Health Care Assistant" from the class of 2019. The one-year course entailed theory as well as practical experience in a private hospital and old age home. To date, I’ve been caring for my CareChamp clients.

Fun fact - I simply love cooking and experiencing new dishes. In fact, a bake for my community to give back to those less fortunate.

I also have a valid driver’s license allowing me to assist as a companion for clients.
