Description
My name is Harvinder and I am an experienced female carer. I specialize in hourly and overnight care services and have been doing this for over 18 years. Caring, friendly, and helpful is how I would describe myself, and I am motivated by the desire to help people lead independent lives.
I can drive and own a car which makes it easy for me to visit my patients at their homes or take them out for appointments or activities. My areas of expertise include bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, catheter care, and companionship. I have previously dealt with patients with mild cognitive impairment, bedridden patients, Parkinson’s disease, anxiety, and depression.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending my free time cooking and baking delicious meals, practicing yoga, and occasionally watching TV. I am also comfortable around pets like cats, fish, rabbits, birds, and turtles.
If you’re seeking professional and compassionate care services, please do not hesitate to get in contact with me. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon and providing the best possible care experience for you or your loved ones.
