About Allison

I consider myself a great caregiver because I am upbeat, positive, and have a bubbly personality. When I meet a new client, I always try to get them to smile or laugh. I enjoy being a caregiver because I like to give back...I would imagine these people raised children or took care of someone during their life, and now I want to help take care of them. I am most proud of just graduating, with honors and a 4.0, from Drexel University last year! I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Personal Caregiver

Mar 2011 - Sep 2014
Personal Family Member
I was a personal caregiver for my great Aunt, up until she passed away in September 2014. I helped her with cleaning and laundry, as well as other things around the house. I also helped her with transfers from bed to standing, from standing to chair, from walker to car, and in/out of car, etc. I would drive her to doctor appointments, as well as short trips to the store. I helped her with bathing, dressing, cooking and eating, toileting, etc. We did everything together! I even helped her when she wanted to put on some makeup! I have a true passion for helping anyone who is my elder! I think people my age do not respect them enough.
