About Alexandria

What makes me a great caregiver is that i have the passion for this type of work its not just a job to me. I've been doing this type of work for years ever since i was a younger lady (10-16) years old my mothers mother was paralyzed on her left side of her body all the way down. So we as the kids had to step up an do things for her to help her out with her everyday living. What i enjoy most about being a caregiver is the smile on the clients face when i leave at the end of the day because i have made someones day. The personal achievement that I'm proud of is that i have a CNA certificate and I'm going to go further a get state tested so i can be a STNA.

I provide reliable, confident, experienced, loving care, daily assistance and companionship. I've been in the caregiving field 25+ years starting with the care of my own grandmother, then my father, who was quadriplegic. I have Medical Assistance , First Aid and CPR training, experience with Developmental Disabilities and am a Certified Nurse's Assistant. I've tried other lines of work, but felt unfulfilled and have always found myself being a caregiver once again. I love caring for others and feel as though I was born for it; it's my calling.
