Mckenzie’s Bio
With over three years of experience in a long-term care facility and a formal training as a paramedic, with five years experience on the ambulance as an EMT. I bring a unique blend of medical knowledge, emergency response skills, and compassionate caregiving to those in need. My hands-on experience in long-term care has given me deep insight into the daily needs of residents, from assisting with activities of daily living to providing emotional support and companionship.
As a former paramedic, I am trained to handle high-pressure situations, assess medical conditions quickly, and ensure the safety and well-being of those under my care. This background allows me to offer not only day-to-day assistance but also an added layer of security in recognizing and responding to health concerns proactively.
I am passionate about enhancing the quality of life for my clients, treating each individual with dignity, patience, and kindness. Whether it's providing personal care, medication reminders, or simply being a reassuring presence, I strive to create a safe and supportive environment for those I serve.
Let me bring my skills and dedication to your loved ones, ensuring they receive the care, respect, and attention they deserve.
