About Alandra

Hello, my name is Alandra. Nice to meet you. I've been a caregiver for about 3 years. I have experience with Dementia & Alzheimer's patients. I believe to be a great caregiver you have to have lots of patience, you have to care, and show lots of empathy. I personally believe I have all of these qualities which makes me the perfect caregiver for your family. I know lots of people say that they like helping people but I do enjoy it. From a young age I would say I was introduced to caregiving. From giving my grandparents their medication to helping care for my great grandfather. I love the feeling of making others happy. Just being able to put a smile on others faces is an accomplishment. You never know what someone is going through, being kind is the absolute least you can do for someone.
