Blessing Nkeiruka Nwaka

I was an ICT teacher and instructor/ counsellor  for more than a decade before relocating to UK. My exposure as a  carer in the health  sector  in UK made me to fall In  love with the work. Caring is a passionate job that I canno  do without because life is a circle. Besides,  it's  like our daily life routin  where you take care of people  and keep your environment clean to stay healthy.   

With my experience in teaching, I was exposed to different kind of people with different behaviour and health challenges such as the vulnerable and the ability to manage them was never a problem.

As a carer, I ensure the residents are settled each start of the day and retairing to bed at night. I assist them in all their personal care such as bathing, dressing, toileting,oral care, making of beds, cleaning of the rooms and commode,and  laundry and ironing of clothes  etc.and the ones that are independent are supervised as well.

I also assist in the kitchen and serving of food, ensuring the kitchen is clean after each meal.

Reporting is done after each shift and proper hand over is made to the next staff. 

Am a Healthcare Assistant at Gwendoline Nursing/ Residential Home.

I have worked in the company for 4months and still working with them.

Honestly, am really enjoying the work as it is like our daily life routine.
