I am every responsible and caring and loving

I love helping people and love being a caregiver

I am a talkative, adventurous, and caring individual with a true passion for supporting others. Caring for others brings me genuine joy, and I find fulfillment in helping my patients feel comfortable, respected, and content in their daily lives. I began caring for others, such as seniors at 18 years old and continued until I was 25, gaining valuable hands-on experience providing companionship, assistance with errands, and attentive care. I am highly observant and attentive to changes in my patients' well-being, and I prioritize clear communication with both seniors and their families. In addition to my caregiving care experience, I was a preschool teacher for over five years. This role strengthened my patience, flexibility, and ability to adapt to different personalities and needs. As a parent myself, caregiving is a natural part of who I am. I am looking for a position where I can stay active, move around throughout the day, and continue making a positive impact in others' lives. I am very communicative, dependable, willing to go above and beyond, and flexible with scheduling. My key skills include: Strong communication with seniors and family members Observing and recognizing when someone is not feeling well Providing companionship while respecting personal space Assisting with errands and daily tasks Creating a warm, supportive, and engaging environment

Hi my name is Alisha Garcia, I am 23 years old and I am currently pursuing my bachelors degree in nursing. I have always enjoyed caring for others and have wanted to become a nurse for as along as I can remember. I am very patient, compassionate, and empathetic. I will always do my very best to make sure your loved one receives the care that they deserve. I have worked in an assisted living home and have been a home health aide, so I have experience working with many different conditions. I have my nursing assistant license, and I am also CPR certified.

I have been in the healthcare field for about 6 years. I recently graduated from Northern New Mexico College Nursing program. I have a compassion for caring and helping individuals that are in need. I'm enthusiastic about learning and love a sense of humor! The healthcare field is just for me.

My first experience as a caregiver came just after high school when I was hired as a nurse aide at the Med Unit at El Castillo Retirement Community in Santa Fe, NM, where I cared for the elderly that were needing more than normal care. I did this for the Summer before college. It gave me a sense of pride in caring for these vulnerable seniors. I did everything required of me from diaper changes, to tube feedings, grooming, changing clothes, toileting, companionship, blood pressure readings, etc. Years later, I helped with the caregiving for my grandma of 96-years. I helped take her to the hairdresser every Friday, did the shopping and helped her bathe, and comb. I helped her brush her dentures. I eventually helped her to transfer her to the commode and back to her chair, and back to her recliner. I was mainly there from about 4:30 pm until about 8:30am once a week. She was an amazing person, right up to the end. My next caregiving task was brief, but very enlightening. I would become a companion for an aunt who developed dementia/Alzheimer's and progressed rather rapidly and although an effort was made to have her at home, she too, became a resident at Sierra Vista for memory care. I attended an Alzheimer's class (an overview) at that time. Witnessing her progression was very hard, but also experiential. About 3 years ago, I attended an Alzheimer Caregiver course (lengthy, about 6-8 sessions if I remember correctly). This was due to my Dad having dementia that was progressing. His progression has been somewhat slow, and he is mostly being helped (meals, hygiene, companionship, etc.) by other family members. I find fulfilment in caregiving. I am touched by the person(s) I care for, and I hope also to touch theirs also!

Easy to get along with and very patient. I love being able to help and help my client keep their dignity and independence. Meeting new people is the best part of my job and getting to know all about them.
