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 :)

What makes me a great caregiver is that I pay attention to details. I do exactly what I'm told, asked and also give advice according to my expertise and I tell the truth about what is needed when it matters. I first started working with elders within my monastery taking care of their basic needs and taking them back and forth to doctor's appointments and following their doctors care of plan. That transmitted to my professional work life as a certified nursing aide, as I work in the nursing homes and also in private home settings. It brings me joy to see those who are in need of help receive the assistance that they need without taking away their dignity and also giving them the extra help that's necessary.... at the same time allowing them to do what they can for themselves. I have a broad range going from helping those with terminal illnesses all the way to those who just need extra assistance around the house. There is no job too big or too small for me to do.
