Jessie has spent the last ten years working with individuals of all ages who have trauma, mental health, and psychological disorders, including disabilities that occur during the aging process. Her communication and interpersonal skills, as well as her experience in counseling and facilitating sensitive discussions, is valuable in managing the quality of care that Home Instead Care Proffesionals provide our clients.

She has also worked firsthand with multiple aging family members, who required physical support, and emotional support through the later stages of cancer.

Her expertise in trauma and crisis management can be especially relevant, as aging clients may be more vulnerable to experiencing traumatic events and may require specialized care to help them recover.

I have an extensive background in Marketing and Administration from my hometown, the Philippines.

My knowledge in communicating and handling customer needs and concerns can contribute positively to Home Instead and the community that we serve. I am very thrilled to be a part of such a loving and accepting family at Home Instead. I strongly believe that we serve a huge part in so many people's lives not only our clientele, but our Care Pros and our clients' family members as well, and that is what gives me joy every day.

I would like to introduce myself as a creative, innovative and health enthusiastic person. Since childhood, I have been taught that “HEALTH IS WEALTH”. I got fascinated by this thought when I found the little logic behind it that good health works as a fuel for carrying a blissful life and working efficiently.

Caring for people and helping others lead a fit and healthy life is so satisfying and essential to me that it has become my life's motto. This motivated me to join Home Instead as a Caregiver in 2018 as my first job in Canada which helped me grow professionally and enhanced my personal, and customer service skills. I have experience in different sectors of health care. I have been a caregiver, pharmacy assistant, Service Coordinator, Recruitment and Retention Coordinator, and now HR Manager at Home Instead. There is immense room for growth within the company and I am over the moon every time when say I work with such dedicated, hard-working people who are always happy to help, because at Homeinstead~"To us, It's Personal"
