About Alexandria

I am a Medical Technician in the United States Air Force (National Guard) and have finished extensive training done in military hospitals. In military hospitals most patients are veterans or a spouse of a veteran. Therefore, most of our tasks were geriatric related. Through this I have been able to become more patient and knowledgable about geriatric needs. The thing that attracted me about being a caregiver is the one on one work relationship. I am attending IUPUI in the fall of 2018 and have classes Monday- Friday morning. With that said, I am looking for a NIGHT job. A personal achievement I am proud of is being one of the top in my class during my medical training. It has encouraged me to pursue my dreams of going to medical school and becoming a trauma surgeon.

I have 20 years of experience in the medical/nursing field. I've worked in nursing homes, hospitals, and agencies and have found that in home care is the field best suited for me. I tend to be drawn toward Alzheimer/dementia patients as I'm learning my approach in care, they tend to respond to me best. I have worked with several families and helped to restore certain independence to patients with walking, dressing, feeding themselves. I ran a restorative therapy program for over two years in a nursing facility before deciding to take a home care position with an agency.

I am looking for a part time position with hours in the evenings and/or weekends. I became a Caregiver because I enjoy being around people. My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and after my grandfather passed away, I would visit her frequently to do her hair and other small tasks for her. The more time I spent there, I discovered how much I loved it. I got my Caregivers certificate within months and have never loved what I do so much. I love being able to help others. I love encouraging them to embrace what they can do and help them, gently, with what they are unable to do, now. Even though the job may be difficult at times, the reward at the end of the day is always worth it. I have worked in some very challenging circumstances where my patience, joy and understanding are challenged. I am proud to say that I have learned to understand where my client is coming from in different circumstances. I have learned to be patient with them during any situation and to be joyful before, during and after any trying time. I am a people person, with a big heart, who cares immensely for other people. I am trustworthy, kind, patient, caring and understanding.
