About Mariam

My name is Mariam Alaka, and I've been a caregiver for 8 years. I've worked in adult family homes, senior living centers, and caregiving agencies, and I've cared for people of all ages and medical conditions, including those with disabilities. My talents to communicate well with the people I am caring for and to ensure that I am doing my best in taking care of the individual are some of the personality attributes that make me a great caregiver. In addition, as a caregiver, I strive to be patient so that my interactions with the people run easily. I also do my best to empathize with the people I care for so that they feel welcomed and appreciated. I also do my best to pay attention to small details so that if a problem arises, I can identify it ahead of time and communicate with other people to try to solve it. What drew me to become a caregiver was the opportunity to care for others. I enjoy assisting others, and this was an opportunity to do so. The talks I can have with the folks I am caring for are one of my favorite aspects of being a caregiver. Most older people are in vulnerable situations, relying on others to look after them, and it is critical that they have someone they can trust and communicate to. I learn a lot from the elderly, and if they inquire, they learn a lot about myself and my cultural background.

What makes me not a great care giver but, a good caregiver are tools of education, understanding, knowledge and compassion with an emphasis on debilitating diseases. I became a caregiver when my husband was diagnosed with Interstitial Pulmonary Disease he was given five years life expectancy. I learned how to best care for him which was challenging in every way imaginable. At the same time I enrolled in a CNA program worked at a convalescent hospital night shift in the Alzheimer Unit in Grass Valley California from 2003 thru 2007. In all these experiences what I took to heart years later was very effective in caring for my mother. My personal achievement in this line of work is having family and friends trusting me with their care which is endearing to me.

Took care of my father til his passing, I knew I was meant to do this job. In my culture, we care for our elderly at home no matter what. You learn all the trades at a young age & it instilled in you . So I carry it and bless those who are in need of caring. Started my caregiver career in 2000, which I cared for my mother in law and many after that. I love to help the elders become independent, especially in the comfort of their homes. Care for them as my own parent. I'm compassionate, loving n emotional when I see anyone in need of help. I will go the extra mile to make sure your ok at the end of the day. My smile will brighten anyone's day I enjoy being a caregiver because it makes me feel good, and knowing that I'm able to help & put a smile on their faces when I leave for the day. I'm very proud of what I do, it's a blessing for me to share what's been given and a very rewarding feeling. I go home each day, knowing that my client is physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually comfortable [?]Those achievements are all I need.
