Description
Hi there, my name is Sheila L and I am a female home carer with over 18 years of experience. I specialize in providing hourly care to individuals who require assistance with daily living activities. I am known for my warm and friendly personality, as well as my helpful nature towards my clients.
My motivation for caring stems from a deep desire to help people lead independent lives. I understand that as people grow older or face particular health challenges, they may need extra support to stay active and engaged in their communities. Being a home carer has allowed me to meet new people, build meaningful relationships, and make a positive difference in their lives.
Although I do not have a driver's license or a car, I possess a range of skills that are valuable in my line of work. These include but are not limited to bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, companionship, and cooking. Over the years, I have worked with individuals dealing with a range of health conditions such as stroke, cancer, dementia (Alzheimer, Vascular, etc.), visual impairment, and urinary disorders (UTI, incontinence, etc.).
When I am not working, I enjoy engaging in outdoor activities like going for walks, as well as pursuing my passion for cooking and baking. I also enjoy watching TV. Lastly, I am okay with pets and would be more than happy to discuss your specific care needs. Let's get in contact - I would be delighted to support you or your loved one in any way possible.
