About Alicia

I feel like to be a great caregiver you really have to put your heart in what you do. I personally put my heart into every aspect in being a caregiver because I love helping others. I enjoy getting to know my clients on a personal level and by respecting their life you really relate with one another. I also just enjoy helping them take care of themselves physically, such as showers, dressing, eating, because I know that when you reach a part in your life you don't want to depend on others, but when someone is pleased to help with those things, I know it makes the world of a difference. And specifically for me I have also enjoyed the elderly, so I am going to school to specialize in Geriatrics.

    I became a caregiver because a friend of mine needed help with her husband; he had Parkinson's, and I became very good at assisting him with daily needs of living. Then word got out and the phone calls came in. To me this is not a job it is what I was meant to do. But my personal achievement was when I got ask to help a young man. This young man would never smile and was never happy because of the accident, but that all changed when his parents asked for help, now he looks in the mirror and calls for me and asks me if that isn't that the best looking guy in Springfield. He is my greatest achievement, oh and he also got married and now they are having their first child. I am a out going lady, love animals, gardening, walks, crafts, etc.

    I love to care for others. I like for my life to have meaning in helping others. It brings joy to my heart. I took care of my grandmother for several years and I also worked for a caregiver company and I love it. I took care of a lady for 12 years who had MS, she was total depended on me for personal care. I'm a Christian lady who believes God has given me a heart for taking care of others.
