Summary

Reliable, compassionate, and eager to transition into the aged care sector. I have gained firsthand experience in supporting individuals with dementia, having cared for my grandmother during her battle with the condition. This experience has deepened my understanding of the challenges faced by those with cognitive impairments, whilst also strengthening my skills in patience, communication, and emotional support. I am motivated to contribute to the well-being of elderly clients, leveraging my ability to build rapport, problem-solve, and utilise technology. With a commitment to learning and adapting, I am excited to bring my caregiving experience, strong interpersonal skills, and innovative mindset to a rewarding role in aged care.
