As a healthcare professional, with First aid/CPR and medication training and certification in The Mandt System, I have solid experience and competence in activities of daily living, bathing, feeding, ambulating, light laundry, doctor’s appointment, grooming, bed making, and other personal care. I am also knowledgeable in activities of daily living processes and procedures, recording patient information, providing personal care, and performing procedures and ADLs under the supervision of a nurse.
My top qualities include excellent organizational and inter-personal and client/patient service skills, proficiency in English and in verbal and written communication skills, strong cultural competency skills, and the capability to work in a culturally diverse setting. When it comes to patient relations, organization, and cooperation, I guarantee excellence.
