Description
I have worked as a Care Assistant for 10 years. During this time I have worked with dementia patients where I have lived in their homes. I assisted with bathing, dressing, moving and handling, hoisting, preparing and cooking meals, light housework. I ensure daily exercise were achieved in several ways such as walking, cycling, swimming etc. I also work with people who are mentally challenged supporting them in all areas of their lives such as shopping, assist with bathing and dressing. Cooking, personal grooming and much more. I have learnt how to gain trust with patients by listening to them actively and acting on information given. Attending to their needs following their agenda and not my own. I trained as a counsellor so was able to apply this skill effectively by being empathetic and caring, non judgemental and helpful. . Going above and beyond my normal duties to ensure happiness of patients. . I am interested in helping people hence my empathetic approach coupled with my great cooking skills are a win-win.
