About Cynthia

I have always had a so much compassion for the mentally challenged, elderly and disabled. They are all so special and deserve to have someone they can trust and depend on to take care of their needs. Caring for someone who needs my help brings me happiness, helps me find my own personal strengths and increases my own self confidence. Helping others in need, to me, is what this life is all about. Being a caregiver has taught me to value the present and what I do is making a real difference in someone's life. It is a privilege and an honor to serve these awesome individuals, because at the end of the day, it can be hugely rewarding knowing that you've helped make someone's life easier and better.

I have worked with Alzheimer's patients and those with dementia from the age of 19 to age 30. I started in Wisconsin as a caregiver for New Perspectives. In a couple of years I became the live in for this group home. I helped with all daily cares and medication administration. I later received my CNA license and continued to work in Colorado and later Texas I was also flight attendant in between this time. At the age of 30, we had our first child and I have been an at home mother of three children since 2004. I love those that are affected by Alzheimers and now that my children are getting older, would love to work with them again.

Hi, my name is Alisha! I have 5 boys ranging in age from 1 year old to 19 years old. I've spent a lot of time caring for others and it's something I truly enjoy doing! I learn quickly and am eager to please those that I work for! I have been blessed to be a stay at home mom for most of my boys lives and wouldn't change a thing! I am a PRO at organizing and love to do laundry! I love animals, dogs are my favorite. I did have the pleasure to care for my grandmother when she fell ill and I thoroughly enjoyed our extra time together and loved to help her with things she could no longer do herself... I'd love to build a lasting relationship with your family and help out wherever needed. With having 5 boys I have a ton of GREAT stories to tell too!
