Summary
A caring and reliable Healthcare Assistant with solid skills and experience helping patients. I work well with elderly people, those with disabilities, people receiving end-of-life care, and patients who need extra support. I've worked in hospitals, clinics, and care homes. I'm responsible, pay close attention to details, and show up when needed. I treat patients with respect, handle challenging situations, communicate well, stay calm in emergencies, and always follow safety and privacy rules. I keep learning and provide good, steady care.
