For the past decade, I've dedicated myself to providing compassionate care to adults and seniors. My journey began with a deep desire to support their well-being and independence, fueled by positive experiences in prior care roles. I am patient, friendly, and detail-oriented. I prioritize understanding each individual's preferences. I adapt to changing routines and handle confusion with care. I am experienced in respite care, live-in care, transportation, hospice, errands, personal care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and assisting with mobility. I communicate with families through daily reports and verbal updates, always respecting their preferred method. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm eager to bring my experience and dedication to your family, ensuring your loved one receives the best possible support.
I had the pleasure of supervising Poelo for a year in a care home setting, and I can confidently say she was a valuable member of the team. Poelo consistently demonstrated compassion, patience, and professionalism in her work with residents. She provided high-quality, person-centered care, ensuring that each resident was treated with dignity and respect at all times. She was skilled in assisting residents with activities of daily living, including personal hygiene, bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and feeding. In addition, Poelo supported residents with mobility, including safe transfers and repositioning, while adhering to proper manual handling procedures. She was attentive in monitoring residents’ health and wellbeing, accurately recording observations, reporting any changes in condition, and following care plans effectively. Poelo also assisted with medication administration under supervision, supported residents living with dementia through patience and understanding, and helped create a calm, safe, and engaging environment. She contributed to maintaining cleanliness and hygiene standards within the care home and ensured infection control procedures were followed at all times. She worked collaboratively with the healthcare team, communicated effectively with colleagues and families, and was always willing to take initiative. Poelo remained calm under pressure and handled challenging situations with professionalism and empathy. Throughout her time under my supervision, Poelo showed growth in her skills and confidence, and she was always open to feedback and eager to learn. I highly recommend Poelo for any caregiving or healthcare support role, as she brings both competence and genuine care to her work.
