How do I write a profile summary?

A good profile summary should be as detailed as possible. Here are some guidelines:

1. Self-introduction

• Personality, hobbies and interests
• Language(s) spoken

2. Inspiration to care

3. Care experience

• How long you have been a caregiver / healthcare professional
• What Activities of Daily Living (ADL) / nursing procedures you are proficient in
• What relevant certifications you have
• Who you have cared for (ie. seniors with Dementia, etc
• Where you have provided care (e.g. home, care facilities, ward types, etc)

Here is an example:

Hello, my name is Sarah! I am able to converse in English, Malay and conversational Mandarin. I enjoy hiking and cycling in my free time.

I was inspired to be a caregiver due to my personal experience of caring for my grandparents. I believe every care recipient has unique care needs and will do best to tailor my care to support them.

I have also completed the following training/certifications for

• Basic Caregiver Training
• First Aid Awareness Training

I look forward to caring for your loved ones and thanks for entrusting their care to me!
