Description
My name is Vanessa, and I have been a dedicated home carer for many years. I specialize in providing hourly care to individuals facing various health challenges, including dementia (Alzheimer and Vascular), urinary disorders (UTI, incontinence), mild cognitive impairment, and Parkinson's disease. My passion for caregiving stems from a deep sense of empathy and the desire to support others in leading independent and fulfilling lives.
While I may not be able to drive or own a car, I compensate with my exceptional skills in providing eating and drinking assistance, companionship, cooking, cleaning, and laundry services. Beyond my professional expertise, I find joy in hobbies such as walking, cooking & baking, solving puzzles, socializing, and reading. I believe in fostering holistic well-being through not just physical care but also mental and emotional support.
Caring is not just a job for me; it is a calling. I take pride in my attributes of being caring, friendly, and helpful, which have guided me through countless rewarding caregiving experiences. With a soft spot for fish and birds as pet preferences, I approach each client with respect, compassion, and a commitment to improving their quality of life. As I embark on this journey of caregiving, my ultimate motivation remains rooted in the belief that everyone deserves dignity, respect, and the opportunity to live as independently as possible.
