I consider myself to be mature and hard-working, caring, kind and calm. I can work independently and within a team to provide person-centred care to the patients, keeping them safe and I am a good advocate for them, especially for patients with cognitive decline, dementia, and adults with incapacity. I have 8 years experiences working in Nursing Homes and 5 years’ experience working in Hospital, I always follow individual care plan, always in professional manners while assisting their physical and mental health, eating and drinking with respect them with dignity and show compassion to make them feel better and encourage independence to have a quality life. I have skills in checking vital signs such as Blood pressure, Pulse and Blood Monitor, Catheter and stoma care. I am always calm and good in challenging situations and I always put my heart in everything I do. My motto, treat others the way you would like to be treated, I have sense of humor and good companion and I am friendly and easy to talk too.
