About Alexandra

As individuals age or have developmental disabilities and are in need of extended care outside of the family it is important that the client or patient comes first. Aging or caring for someone with a disability can be very rewarding and it takes someone that is very empathetic and understanding of circumstances. Many of these people that are needing a caretaker we're once fully functional and able to do everything on their own. Therefore these individuals may have feelings of loss and grief due to needing caregiving. They may have had their car taken away or are no longer able to get around the house by themselves. My most recent experience with caregiving was with my grandmother going over daily helping with daily meals, engaging with the physical therapist, medication regimen and transferring from wheelchair to recliner or bed. I feel as though I am also more empathic due to my past history of needing caregiving and understand the challenges mentally and physically that can burden the individual now in need. I am a graduate student of a master of social work graduating this summer 2022, I have worked with many individuals from all backgrounds working in Behavioral Health. My prices are negotiable depending on what is needed and location.
