Summary

As someone who is deeply committed to delivering care and support to the vulnerable, that is centered on compassion, empathy and respect, I am looking for an opportunity to join an organization that shares my mission and values. The experience I gained at Mother Theresa Care Home (Missionaries of Charity), helped me to understand the importance of delivering personalized, high-quality care that prioritizes the dignity, well-being and safety of service users. My expertise includes providing physical and emotional support, assisting with daily living activities and promoting independence and empowerment, scheduling and maintaining accurate records of dosage, weight, Blood pressure, pulse, temperature and to monitor client's health and to report any changes to medical professionals and family members immediately, helping to feed clients and ensuring dietary restrictions and preferences are met and maintaining a clean and safe environment for patients and bed making.
