To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to apply for a position  as PAB in your Home Care Agency.

I have a Diploma of Vocational Studies (Assistance in Health Care Facilities/ PAB Program) from Pearson Adult Educational Career Centre in La Salle, Quebec. The program consists of 750 hours of theory and practice, with 6 stage components. I am presently PDSB and CPR certified. I have previous experience in your institution having worked as a nursing aid for two years. I have also worked as private companion for a paraplegic client and elderly woman that needed basic care.  I am patient, hardworking, team-player, punctual, quick learner, able to work long hours and over time. I believe that I can be a great help in your agency specially on this time of Covid-19 pandemic.

I am available at any time for an interview, and look forward meeting you in person. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Jona Leah Gantala
