Obioma Echefu

I bring real-world experience in direct, compassionate care—developed through supporting a family member with complex health needs—into a formal care setting. With an eye for detail, a calm presence, and a respect for personal dignity, I’m drawn to roles where small daily actions create a meaningful difference. I am not interested in simply "doing tasks"—I care about the people behind them.

• Managed his hygiene, mobility, dressing, and tailored meal preparation.
• Recorded health changes and routines to communicate with visiting clinicians.
• Maintained a calm and structured routine, respecting his wishes while supporting his autonomy.

Self-Employed Baker (Entrepreneur) (2013 – 2023)

• Ran a successful pastry business where hygiene, timing, and emotional resilience were key.
