About Allyson

Why I became a caregiver is because I like helping people I think that's the best job u can have . I had a grandma who I heloped take care of In the last years of her life she had dementia ,parksisons disease, and many other health issues . That definitely made me want to help other individuals and other families through things like that. What I enjoy most with being a caregiver is helping people and making a difference in someone's life and getting to know that person and help out . I'm a very kind and caring person . I'm very reliable and responisble as well. I have a good heart that cares about people . I am a laid back person who is very patient as well . I was recently a caregiver to elderly couple as well .

I become a caregiver because I enjoy working with people and mostly enjoy a job where I have one-on-one interaction with others. I enjoyed taking care of of elder family members and would like to help others in this way. I also like older adults, I also get along well with a variety of elders.
