About Carolyn

The only caregiving I've ever provided care for were family members including my father, and 2 sisters and my niece who all were diagnosed with terminal cancer and I assisted along with other family members caring for them after their cancer surgeries and treatments. Unfortunately, they all succumbed to their cancer but I was able to help them stay home rather than going to a facility prior to them passing. My 84 year old mother is also in remission for cancer but currently lives with my sister in MD. I am almost 60 years old. I live alone and I retired from a nearly 20 year career owning a trucking business with my husband. I went through a divorce in 2016 and I live alone and have freedom of my time. I'm looking to fill in about 25 hours a week to offer companionship and basic needs for someone's loved one. Helping people keep their loved ones at home like my family did for our family members is very important to me. I am a Christian. I do not smoke and I love helping others. I'm open to interviewing to get to know me. I love making someone smile and helping them have more good days than bad ones.

Alyson P.

$25.00/hour · Lakeland, FL
Hello! My name is Alyson. I first became a care giver, before I even got my license, when I was 15. I worked for the park district, working with families and then babysitting children. I even worked as a nanny for a few families. I also cared for children and adults that are physically or mentally disabled. I have cared for elderly people as well. I have cared for clients who needed a little help with cooking and cleaning to hands on care for those who had Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and Dementia. I have also house and pet sat for multiple families. I am a very caring, sweet, patient person. Being a caregiver is a great fit for me because I enjoy helping people and listening to their stories. I have a great sense of pride going home after work, knowing that I made a difference in someone else's life. Something I am proud of today; caring for clients with so many different needs over the years. One of my clients made it through to the point, she didn't need care anymore. She was able to be independent on her own after I helped her for four years. During my time when I am not working to help other people, I enjoy outside activities, taking care of my garden, my indoor plants, crafting, kayaking, camping, cooking and spending time with my loved ones and pets.
