About

Professional summary

I am a compassionate Healthcare Services Support professional with training in clinical patient care, healthcare education, and administrative support. I am committed to delivering safe, dignified, patient-centered care across hospital, rehabilitation, homecare, and eldercare environments.

I have practical clinical placement experience supporting elderly patients and children with special needs. My responsibilities have included activities of daily living assistance, mobility support, feeding, personal hygiene, continence care, comfort care, and monitoring and reporting vital signs.

I maintain strong infection prevention and control practices, including hand hygiene, appropriate gloving, environmental disinfection, sterilization, and pressure-area care. I prioritize patient safety, privacy, comfort, and individual preferences in every interaction.

Alongside clinical work, I served as a Training Assistant, where I co-facilitated healthcare lessons, supervised practical skills sessions, administered assessments, and maintained student records using digital assessment tools. This experience strengthened my communication, documentation, mentoring, and organizational skills.

I am fluent in English and Kiswahili, work effectively in multidisciplinary teams, and am available immediately for full-time healthcare support roles. I am flexible to work day, evening, night, and rotating shifts and am authorized to work in Kenya and internationally.
