About Jacqueline N.

I began my career in care in January 2022 and have since gained extensive experience across various settings, including nursing homes, live-in care, palliative care homes, early-stage dementia care, and stroke rehabilitation wards. My approach is grounded in attentiveness and compassion. I have monitored individuals' physical and emotional wellbeing, promptly reporting changes and offering suggestions for care plan adjustments to ensure tailored and effective support. Administering and managing medication has been a key part of my role, and I have established reminders that ensure 100% on-time intake for clients. For bedridden patients, I implemented a regular turning and repositioning routine, which led to an 80% reduction in reported bedsores. Safety and hygiene are always priorities in my care environments, and I consistently maintain optimal standards to reduce risks and enhance health outcomes. I have had the privilege of supporting numerous individuals in maximising their physical, intellectual, emotional, and social capabilities through personalised care plans. By employing my strong communication and interpersonal skills, I’ve built positive, trust-based relationships with clients, earning high satisfaction ratings. Additionally, I am skilled in using hoists to move clients safely and have expertise in manual handling techniques and lifting aids to position individuals comfortably and securely. Caregiving is not just my profession but my passion, and I am dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of those I support.
