About Alfred

I'm a person with empathetic feeling . I like to help who can not help him or herself more especially in case of disability. Moreover with the mind of helping those with disabilities I had to went for a professional training to be certified as a caregiver and after a successful training I had an opportunity to be hired in a big nursing home facility to demonstrate my training skills in helping different people with different disabilities and it was a challenge which I enjoyed displaying my clinical skills since 2013 to present and now I can see myself more helpful and being known by so many family and friends of people that I've been helping which implies a big attraction for me as a caregiver. I enjoy being a caregiver especially when I spend more hours of services with the aging with disabilities, I like the company, fun , conversations, new old ideas and their interesting testimonies of their past experience and achievements which I can learn from. Hence I'm proud of being a professional and experienced caregiver in the healthcare services.

Some people ask me, "why are you a caregiver?" I smile and simply respond, "I care to care." Caring for others has not only created an occupation for me, but also a way of life. Waking up in the morning and knowing that I am on my way to make someone feel better, either by assisting with daily living activities, by listening, or by telling jokes that make a client smile, makes me feel a great sense of accomplishment and joy. I have been a caregiver for over six years and have never had a dull day since I began. Each day provides me with an opportunity to make a positive impact on someone, and I cannot think of anything more rewarding. I am an empathetic, forthright, punctual, honest, and patient individual who maintains professionalism at all times. I believe that these fundamental characteristics put me on level ground with the clients I have cared for throughout the years, and with their families and loved ones. Since childhood I have wanted to make a difference in people's lives, and being a caregiver I can make an impact that goes above and beyond that goal.
