Description
My name is Grace B, and I'm a female home carer. I specialize in providing Hourly care services for the elderly, people living with disabilities and other health conditions. I have been in the care industry for over a decade, and I have worked with patients with varying levels of care needs, including those with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Bedbound, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, and Depression. Although I cannot drive, I am determined to provide the best care possible for my clients.
My skills include bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, catheter care, and companionship. I recognize that my clients have different needs, and I always strive to make them feel comfortable and safe. Beyond my care skills, I enjoy cooking and baking, reading, and listening to music. I also have a passion for animals and have no problem taking care of pets, including cats, dogs, rabbits, and birds.
I am a caring, friendly, and helpful person. Caring for others has always been my passion, and I am motivated by helping people lead independent lives. I understand that care needs differ between individuals, and I take the time to listen to my clients to understand their needs. My goal is to help those in my care feel valued and respected at all times, while helping them maintain their dignity and independence.
