Companion Aide Resume

Companion aides give care and assistance to patients who are physically disabled, suffering from a chronic disease or recovering from illness. The aides spend most of their time with the patient and perform different tasks including interaction with patients, playing with them, taking them out for shopping, other household activities, etc. They also perform housekeeping tasks and administer medicines if required.

In this profession, a person has to perform multiple tasks with special attention to the patient's requirement. When you write a companion aide resume, include all the tasks that you specialize in with and emphasize on the responsibilities handled in the previous jobs. You can also provide references of your previous employers and any educational qualification related to the field of nursing care or home care.
