Description
Hello, my name is Gomes J. I am an experienced home care giver with eight years of professional experience. I specialize in Live-in, Hourly, and Overnight care, working closely with individuals to cater to their unique needs. Some of my noticeable attributes are my caring, friendly, and helpful attitude, driven by a strong passion for helping people lead independent lives.
I am motivated by the thought that I can make a difference daily in an individual's life. My skillset includes providing assistance with day-to-day activities such as bathing, toileting, and companionship. I have experience with individuals suffering from mild cognitive impairment, bedbound patients, Parkinson's disease, anxiety, and depression. I have also worked with clients who require catheter care.
Apart from caring for individuals, I also enjoy indulging myself in hobbies such as walking, cooking & baking, watching TV, music, and sports. Although I cannot drive nor have a car, I am willing to travel to provide support. I am also ok with pets, specifically fish.
If you or your loved one requires home care support, then please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. Working together to create a safe and comfortable environment is something I am passionate about, and I would be honored to help.

I have always found Gomes to be trustworthy, hard working and intelligent. When we worked on individual, Gomes showed good communication skills and l could rely on him to take the initiative and to stay calm under pressure. For this reasons,l believe Gomes would be ideal for the job of care assistant .

Gomes arrived on time wearing a smart track suit. He immediately came over as a caring person. He wanted to do something helpful. As I hadn’t had my breakfast, I verbally directed him to get that for me - Rice Crispies with Doctor’s. sachet mixed with water. I also asked him to put some bottles of water by my bed which was most necessary. I am waiting until I see another person before making up my mind.

Gomes was fantastic looking after my Uncle with learning disabilities (as a live in carer). He helped calm him and cook some great meals. Definitely recommend.
