I’ve heard that personal support work is about connection and empathy, so I was thinking of including a bit of my personal story in the resume—like how I took care of my uncle who had dementia. But is that too much? Should I keep it strictly professional?

What worked well for me was including just enough to show motivation without going too deep. I used a guide that helped me shape my https://jobssite.ca/crafting-an-impressive-personal-support-worker-resume/ personal support worker resume so it felt genuine but stayed professional. They suggested turning personal caregiving stories into concrete skills—like communication or problem-solving. For example, instead of just saying “I cared for my uncle,” explain how you created routines or dealt with emergencies. That adds weight to the experience. A bit of personal context can actually make your resume stand out if done right.
That’s a fair question. The PSW field values compassion, but there’s a balance to strike when sharing personal experiences.
