About Alicia

I became a caregiver, because I wanted to health people that aren't physically able to help themselves. I helped my parents to care for my grandmother before she passed. I watched how my parents treated her with respect, even though her illness caused her to develop the mind of a child. I helped my parents to assure, that my grandmothers last years were full of dignity and respect . I enjoy being a care giver, because I gain patient care experience. I plan to be a nurse someday, and my past jobs as a care giver have allowed my to get my feet wet. I have met some delightful people during my experience, and learned so much from them as well. I am proud of myself for returning back to school. I am a CNA, I gained my CNA license in 2012. I have worked at a few long term care facilities. I am currently "working as needed" at a nursing home, but I am in search of something more flexible.

    A very experienced and competent Support Worker, reliable, gentle by nature, patient, understanding and empathetic. As you can tell from my resume, l am currently working as a Caregiver, with ClarityCaregivers company and my duties mainly are to stay awake at night and keep a close eye on the safety of residents, give them medications and keep record of what happens during my shift. Previously worked as a SupportWorker, tried to encourage clients to live an independent life, attended to their personal care, administered medication, and reported to the Program Coordinator. My proudest moments in these jobs is when dealing with difficult clients bt at the end l was able to get them to calm down and take their medication ( that is where my patience was exercised). I believe that with my excellent all round care skills including personal care, cleaning and meal preparation, being a good listener and communicator with empathy, patience and understanding and being Computer literate with all Microsoft packages makes me an ideal candidate for this particular job.

    I have been a home and hospice aide for 14 years. I wanted to get in this field because I took care of my grandmother that past away. She was in a nursing home and she didn't receive the best care so I took her home. I have worked for a hospice company for 14 years while taking care of patients in homes as well as in nursing homes. I love what I do and give all my patients care like I would my own family.
