About Monica

My name is Monica Alcorn. I have impeccable work ethics. I am a mature expeienced caregiver. One of my best caregiver strenghts is I am 6ft tall and in excellent physical condition. A plus in my skills with some clients is my cosmetology/ barbering background. I have found for men and women, losing your interest in your appearance is a challenging portion of the aging process. Along with all of the basic caregiver experience. This gives me a special quality over most in this field. I love being a caregiver, my upbeat personality and overall outlook on life, makes me a great all around attribute to most families. I have watched several patients have a total turn around while in my care. While my approach isnt great for all but for the most part, im very affective in a positive way. Looking forward to meeting you for a possible interview.
