Description
My name is Elena and I am a female personal assistant/support worker with over 3 years of experience in the field. I provide hourly care to those in need.
I am passionate about supporting others to achieve their aspirations and I have always been good at motivating people while making them feel at ease. I consider myself reliable, a good listener, appreciative of other's needs, hardworking, compassionate, patient and kind. Other strengths include being highly organised and resourceful, communicating effectively, learning quickly and easily adapting to different circumstances. My friends regard me as determined and resilient.
While I have the ability to closely follow instructions, I am also able to solve problems independently and to find improvements. My approach to work and challenges is flexible, creative and person-centred. I am greatly motivated to treat people with dignity, compassion and respect.
Outside of my work, I enjoy dancing, trekking, knitting, reading and watching films. I am also great with pets.
