Letter to the family

Hi I'm Catherine age 29 yrs, Kenyan by nationality but currently residing in Bahrain where i work as a nurse assistant. I'd like to work as a caregiver because I believe that social interaction and companionship can have significant positive effects on somebody's well-being. During my undergraduate degree,I participated in a research study that focused on the positive effects of social interaction and improved cognition. Because this care facility focuses on providing care to patients with dementia, I believe that I can help patients experience improvements in their cognition by encouraging social interaction. I have many ideas to encourage social interaction, including planning community bonding events and engaging in individual activities with patients to stimulate memory and recognition. I hope to increase the quality of life that the patients have through my work as a caregiver here.

Experience

I want to be a caregiver so I can empower my patients. In my last role, I worked as a caregiver for a child who had recently undergone an above-the-knee amputation. I visited his home once a day and helped him and his mother learn how to take his artificial limb on and off and care for the residual limb.
I also helped him learn to use his assistive walking devices so he could gain more independence. Still, I helped the mother schedule physical therapy appointments so the child could progress further in his recovery. Eventually, the family no longer needed my services because of the autonomy I helped them achieve. While I'm always happy to assist a patient for as long as necessary, I'm proud to help patients become independent enough to no longer need my services."
