About Alice

I have over two years experience as a caregiver, I love my job in caring for the elderly seniors. I am well experienced in dementia care. Some of duties I perform while with a client is meal prep, medication administratering, light housekeeping, companionship and errands. I decided to become a caregiver because when my grandmother was alive I used to take care of her and l loved it because I am peoples person. Then when she passed away I decided to do it for other people because I am going to school to become a nurse so working with the elderly I gain good experience for my career field in the future. What makes me a good caregiver is I have patience for my client I know how it this when they get to that stage in life so I know how to be calm and work for them. My greatest accomplishment is getting into nursing school it wasn't an easy journey but with hard work and dedication I was able to do it.

I was a Librarian back in the Philippines but when I came to the US in 2006, my friend encouraged me to try working with the elderly as a caregiver. Since then, I have been working as a caregiver and I developed the love and passion in taking care of the elderly. I have experience in taking care.of elderly with different health issues such as Alzheimers, Dementia, diabetis, heart diseases (ie. CHF), Lung or respiratory disease, stroke, cancer, hospice, etc. I assist my residents with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, walking, exercising, etc.. I also do meal preparation , laundry, light housekeeping and medication reminder. I can also assist my Residents with their errands and bring them to their doctor's appointments. I am not only a caregiver to to my Residents but I am also a companion, a friend, a confidant whom they could trust and depend on. I am a responsible person,, loyal and reliable. I stay with my Residents until they terminate my employment. I am proud of being a caregiver because I know I make a difference in the lives of my Residents and I am grateful that most of my Residents that I have taken cared of, including their families, trusted me to be part of the last journey of their lives. My nationality is Filipino and we are known to be the best in caregiving, especially to the elderly.
