About Me
I'm proud of the community I have been able to build around me. I am blessed with some truly loving, kind, supportive and generous friends.
I have always enjoyed the company of those older than myself and I think in life and for the good of our society it's important to stay connected to people of all ages. I am also very interested in building community and I have taken many courses on how to cultivate this in my life.
For the past seven months I have been working part time assisting three seniors with their daily living as well as providing companionship. My service has included outings for meals, grocery shopping, preparing meals, medication reminders, light housecleaning, bathing, dressing, transportation services and companionship. I am also happy to help with organizing appointments, caring for pets, light gardening, computer help, assistance with filling out forms and organizing.
I have over 60 volunteer hours at the ASK Friendship Centre serving meals to seniors as well as providing companionship, conversation and mental stimulation. I am a good driver, I've had a criminal records check and I have taken Emergency First Aid and CPR-C with the Red Cross. I have taken many courses on effective and creative ways of working well with others, building community, as well as natural healing techniques such as Bowen Therapy, meditation and Reiki. I also have experience working with clients who are challenged with memory loss as well as Parkinson's.
