Summary
Compassionate caregiver/support worker with 5 years experience in helping and providing quality care services as a volunteered care assistant at a special school for children and young adult with disability and also provided care for my grandma, currently a care assistant in military hospital. I consider the experience extremely rewarding to help people maintain their independence, equally important is giving meticulous attention to routine task such aged people are unable to complete alone - medication, safety and meal preparation. Looking forward to having a steady and progressive work experience with your high performing company.
