Description
My name is Thenjiwe , and I am a female home carer with experience in providing care for individuals with various needs. I specialize in live-in care, offering my support and assistance to those who require it in the comfort of their own homes.
Over the years, I have gained experience in caring for individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment, Bedbound patients, Parkinson's Disease, Anxiety, and Depression. I am knowledgeable and skilled in tasks such as bathing, toileting, assisting with dressing, catheter care, and providing companionship. I understand the importance of being patient, empathetic, and respectful when caring for others.
While I do not have a car of my own, I am more than capable of driving and have a valid driver's license. I have the ability to transport clients to appointments or run errands if needed. However, my lack of personal transport does not hinder my availability or ability to provide exceptional care.
Outside of my caregiving responsibilities, I enjoy pursuing various hobbies such as cooking, baking&walking. These activities not only bring me joy but also allow me to bond and connect with the individuals I care for.
In terms of pets, I am comfortable and happy to care for cats, dogs, fish, birds, or turtles. I understand that for many individuals, their pets are cherished companions, and I will ensure their well-being and happiness.
I find immense satisfaction in making a positive difference in the lives of those I care for, allowing them to maintain their dignity and live with as much autonomy as possible.
I pride myself on being a caring, friendly, and helpful person. I aim to create a nurturing environment that promotes physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
