About Alicia

Hi! My name is Alicia DeSilva, I live in a small town called Franklin. I am a very bubbly and social individual who is always looking for a new challenge. At age 10 I was taking care of my little sister full time as my mother worked the night shift and my father left very early mornings. It was my parents that taught me how truly appreciative people are of devoting your time and energy to helping others. By age 13 I spent two months with my grandmother in Rochester where she worked with individuals who suffered from mental disabilities. My grandmother taught me that a little patience and a lot of compassion and understanding goes a long way. Caregiving gives me a sense of self fulfillment, instead of waiting for everyone else to start giving, I love to take initiative and devote myself to giving. I think that the appreciation and the smile that people wear on their faces when you've helped them are the most gratifying things that you will come across in life. Thank you for viewing my profile :)

I have been in the health field for over 13+ years, I've worked at a nursing home throughout college. Went to LPN school (still have to sit boards) My most recent employer was a 74 year young lady with Parkinson's. I worked with her for 10 years. I was what she called her "Girl Friday" I did everything from medication reminders and dispensing, to hiring aides, payroll, care for her cats, ran errands, shopped for her, brought her to all appointments, Cooked for her, house cleaning, bathing, dressing, toileting and companionship ( we were incredibly close) I am a very dependable and reliable caregiver. I am kind, caring and considerate. I love taking care of the elderly. I can truly say I am good at what I do, and take enormous pride in my care.
