Summary

I am a compassionate and experienced healthcare assistant with 2 years’ experience. I am sorry I didnt consider this career years ago. I am currently working with Clannad Care in a community setting which I absolutely love. I am confident in providing personal care and companionship to all age groups. I ensure that every patient is supported and encouraged, and that the dignity of my patients is always maintained. My personality is really bubbly but also I am very empathetic, kind caring and I love helping people with their daily activities of daily living.
