Description
Hello, I'm Penelope C, a compassionate and experienced home carer with a wealth of knowledge in providing live-in, hourly, and overnight care. As a female carer, I have had the privilege of assisting individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Parkinson's Disease, bedbound patients, as well as those dealing with anxiety and depression. With the ability to drive and access to my own vehicle, I can easily navigate to provide support wherever it may be needed.
My skills encompass a range of caregiving tasks, including bathing, toileting, assisting with dressing, catheter care, and offering valuable companionship. Beyond these essential duties, I am also known to engage in hobbies like walking, dancing, cooking & baking, practicing yoga, and socializing, enriching the lives of those under my care. Moreover, I have a soft spot for pets, embracing the companionship of cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, and birds.
What drives me in my caregiving journey is my deep-rooted desire to help people lead fulfilling and independent lives. I am characterized by my caring nature, friendly demeanor, and helpful attitude, attributes that have guided me in forming deep connections with those I care for. It is my passion to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals in need of support, and I look forward to the opportunity to bring comfort and assistance to your loved ones.
