Summary
I have worked as a healthcare assistant over the last five years. I supported sick children and the elderly with feeding, and personal care and worked alongside nurses in treating patients. I communicate well with both patients and colleagues and am a very good team player. I am punctual, patient, a quick learner, and always take the initiative. I am a very caring person in nature, always doing my best for the people I care for.
