Aug 16, 2021

A Day in the Life, Oksana Yarymovych, PSW in the Supports for Daily Living program.

What program do you work in?

I work in the Supports for Daily Living program.

 

How long have you worked at Nucleus?

I have worked at Nucleus for almost 12 years!

 

Tell me about your typical work day /week?

On my typical day, I help my consumers with their daily routine, like personal care, meals, medications and, of course, to bring them a good mood. 

 

It all depends on how consumers feel on the day. Sometimes, they want to talk to you. I think companionship and conversation helps them more than anything else. 


What do you enjoy about your job?

I really enjoy working with elderly people and helping them with their activities of daily living. I also learn lots of helpful things from their life stories. 

 

What brought you to Nucleus?

I like the way Nucleus helps the community 

 

What do you think your consumers say about you?

I hope they appreciate my kindness and compassion, friendliness and sense of humor. 

 

Is there anything else you would like to share?

I have met so many different people, cultures and I have found really good friends through Nucleus.
