About Alison

I am a great caregiver because every since I was a child I have found a beauty in elderly persons. My soft heart makes for a strong stomach. I can handle otherwise uncomfortable situations with tact and grace. Though I have not graduated yet I am close to graduating with a Human Development degree emphasising geriatrics.

Caregiver (Level II)

Jan 1997 - Feb 1999
Oakwood Village Retirement
I worked at a Level II care facility where I was in charge of the residents' medicine, getting them to and from the dining room, bathing, dressing and companionship. I was only 19 when I worked there but a love of the elderly started as a child when, unsolicited, I would drop off Easter baskets for residents at the Convalescent home near my house.
