About Alexandria

Hello! My name is Alexandria. I am a compassionate caregiver with over eight years of experience working as a caregiver. I'm passionate about elder care, skilled at managing schedules and keeping clients as active as possible. As well as culturally sensitive with the ability to provide both physical and emotional support to clients. My interest in becoming a caregiver began when I was honored with the role of being the primary caregiver for my great grandfather who lived to be 104 years old. During the last few years of his life I was able to gain so much appreciation for elderly people while caring for him. I am proud to say that I have, and will continue to, provide each one of my clients and their families with the same level of compassion, professionalism, and respect that I would want my own loved one to receive.

I have been a Caregiver in a variety of situations for 7+ years and each family I worked for called me a "member of the family"! What makes me a great caregiver? I'm extremely attentive, patient, have a calming effect on people, am trustworthy, an excellent listener and willing to work with each individual's specific needs. I became a caregiver when my father was recovering from lung cancer & had knee surgery. He required extensive care regarding mobility, physical therapy, meal planning/nutrition, prescription management, & hygiene. Additionally, he needed to know that someone really cared about him & the progress he was making. I am a very positive person with an optimistic outlook on life! I believe this is instrumental is helping one recover from any condition, physically, mentally or emotionally. I had an extensive career as a Director in Human Resources in my corporate career, where many of my transferable skills are utilized in providing care for individuals. I'm passionate about working with seniors, as I have been all of my life. I have a heart for those who need care, may be lonely, or are in transition from home or family. I love seeing changes in the lives of others when I attend to them with their very specific needs. I'm adaptable, easy to talk to & get people talking, so they begin to feel a connection with others, rather than isolated or alone. I've provided care to my grandfather, whose life was transitioning painfully with bone cancer. One of my greatest achievements was to see his pain managed not only through medication, but listening to him recall his life's stories, reading to him his favorite, National Geographic, & providing him with all the personal touches that alleviated the inevitable suffering that comes with this type of cancer. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, AED, and BLS. I will care for your loved one just as I would one of my own parents, with understanding, being present and available for whatever they need.
