Add to FavoritesAbout Allison
I am a Certified Nurse's Assistant with a special interest in serving the elderly. As a college student, during summer breaks, I enjoyed working as a nurse's aide in a retirement home in my home town. I have also worked as a senior caregiver and companion for seniors through a large agency in New York, NY. Currently, I am privately employed part-time by a lovely couple in their 80's, and I am seeking an additional part time client. I very much enjoy the company of seniors, and believe the wisdom they have accumulated during their lives should be respected and admired. I am a very warm, patient, and compassionate person, though I also have a good sense of humor and love to laugh with my clients! Having worked as a creative therapist I like to come up with unique activities to engage in with my clients, and always value their input into how we spend our time together.
