About AlyssaAlyssa

I believe that I'm a good career giver because this isn't just a job for me this is a chance to get to know my employer here their story's and lives. Get to have fun and take care of them like they built our future in the past. I respect my elders and for everything that they have done and what else I can learn and do for them. My experience is taking care of my grandma and grandpa they both have health problems and have to have multiple surgeries quite often and it became something that I really did enjoy getting to help out and repay them for what they have done for me. When I was little my first Encounter was helping my grandpa but not really understanding how I was helping him at the moment. He had dementia I didn't quite understand that at the time but he would change conversation randomly and instead of getting mad or annoyed I went along so he wasn't confused or upset. I let him steer the conversation and learned how to be patient and take my time fully understanding what was happening. He got so bad that he forgot to feed his dog for three days and I had school so I couldn't go see him. Finding out he couldn't even remember he had a dog and it died that when something clicked in me. I just knew that I wanted to help other family's never have to loose or forget something so important, because I can be there to remember for them.

My job was to clean, cook, drive, and make daily goals and schedules. Another part of it was education for the little girl that I looked after. I'd have to think of fun creative ways for her to learn because she has a learning disability and is death in one ear.

I am punctual, very compassionate about what I do for people who have lost some independence from a life event. Compassion for the family involved to help lessen the burden. I like to tell stories that help the family get to know who I am and I love to hear stories from them as well. I have made Caregiving my Career and take it seriously to become highly regarded and recommended. I enjoy helping the patient and their families keep their lifestyles they have without interruption. I like seeing results so with that being said, I had achieved my series 6 & 63 license (which was a challenge for me) and was proud to present products that would get higher interest with low risk. I also did debt settlements and was happy to negotiate the lowest rate for my clients to settle. I work hard and with compassion whether your my customer, patient, friend or family member because I believe everyone needs help sometimes and I look past any obstacles getting it done.

I've been a caregiver for 35 yrs. I started in this field when I was just 17. I love what I do. I come from a medical family and decided at a very young age that I wanted to be a doctor or nurse. I specialize in geriatric dementia and Alzheimers care. Every client needs to know they're truly cared for on every level with love, patience, and kindness. I enjoy learning from them ... they often have amazing histories, stories and lessons to share.I'm often with my clients for the duration of their lives.
