About Alfreda

Expert caregiver with over 10 years experience providing caring supervision and assistance with ADLS/IADLS to clients/residents of varying ages in facilities and within the home. While I enjoyed my time in the facilities and became very close to some of my residents, I prefer the home setting where my clients have been most comfortable because they were in familiar surroundings. I have created long lasting meaningful relationships with not only the ones I cared for, but the families as well because I believe in treating other's family members the way I would expect my own to be treated. And because I have been on both sides of the fence, I can see it from both sides meaning, I have the experience from a personal and professional standpoint. I became interested in being a caregiver while helping out my stepdad's mom and then later helping my mom who was a RN at the time take care of my stepdad before he passed. Later I moved and needed a job but didn't have the time to invest in a long term class so decided to go with the quickest thing at the time and became a CNA. That was 14 years ago and I've been doing it every since. Throughout these years I've met and worked with a lot of interesting people, most who have since passed, but I remained with until the families decided they no longer wanted to keep them in the home for one reason or another and then I was on to my next one never forgetting the one that came before them. I enjoy my job because of the people that I have been lucky enough to come in contact with. I hear stories from other people about their clients and I say to myself, I haven't had those issues. I have never had a client that I did not get along with or just could not tolerate. My clients made it easy to enjoy going to work everyday and not look at it as just a job because I never made them feel like they didn't have a choice or a say in what was going on. I always made sure they knew they still had options everyday.

I'm compassionate about caring for people. I enjoy helping people. I also love to see them smile and laugh. My mother had Alzheimer's. The caregivers were important part of her life, and when they cared for her with love, it warmed my heart. That's when I became interested in caregiving I want to give back after all that was given to my mother, it was then I realize the importance of caregiving.
