Hi, my name is Alyce Lisbey I am a Certified Nurse Assistant with over 8 years experience providing in-home care/ facility. I speak English, and I'm very comfortable and efficient with providing the care you seek. Thank you.

I became a caregiver because my aunt was suffering with ovarian cancer and she had no one to take care of her. She lived in Kern City by herself. I took care of her for the last three months of her life. It was very emotional but it was also very uplifting. I helped her move on and it was a very wonderful experience. The personal achievements I am proud of has to do with my background. At the age of 42 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a double mastectomy, chemo and radiation. When a person lives through a diagnoses like this their outlook on life changes. I want to help people now. I want to make life easier on others if I can. Life is precious and tomorrow is not a promise. I've been married for almost 15 years to a high school PE teacher and basketball coach. I have 2 daughters and a son. They are all adults now and live on their own. I put down 24 years experience because I believe as a mother, you are always a caregiver from the moment your children are born. You are always on call, there is always a problem, and you never stop caring. My parents live in Kern City and I help them out as often as they need me. My mother just had a hip replaced so I also took care of her.

I am reliable, dedicated, and caring. I currently work with mentally disabled kids. I help them with basic living skills like: bathing, brushing their teeth, changing diapers, feeding, etc. I also cook for them and clean up after them. I recently got my Nurssing assistant certificate so I'm looking for a job that will help me add to CNA experience.

I enjoy caring for the sick, disabled and senior communities. I get a sense of reward knowing I provided a patient with respect, privacy, dignity, and excellent patient care. It is my passion to care for those who are unable to care for themselves. One of my personal achievements that I am proud of is I went back to adult school to obtain my High School Diploma. I've never let my CNA license expire in over 22 years and I have had the pleasure of working for one of the best Hospice Agencies in Bakersfield California as a certified Home Health Aide for 8 years. That was a very rewarding job for me.
