About Alexis

I would consider myself a great caregiver and also a great candidate for this position. I became a caregiver when my grandfather got sick. There was no one to watch him, and the previous that was hired didn't do her job correctly. I decided to take my chance and learn and start somewhere. I have also been interested in nursing and working in an emergency room. Gathering experience, and gaining new skills help a lot. Getting involved and taking care of someone is one of the greatest feelings ever. You get attached and you want to give them your all while you can. I like being a caregiver because I mentally and physically build with one another. I feel that while they are still here, they should have anything and everything they want. I feel that I am the right one to provide that attention. My personal achievement is helping others to my best of knowledge.

    I became a caregiver because I was already going to pursue a career in the medical field, and I wanted to get a feel for being in a medical environment. The enjoyable part about being a caregiver is getting experience working with around patients and other medical professionals. A personal achievement I am proud of is getting my CNA license in the 11th grade. With that license, It has taken me one step further into the medical field and has also encouraged me to pursue a medical career in the first place. A little something about myself is that I am very charismatic and people tend to take comfort in me because of my positive personality.

    I become a care giver because i like helping people especially the elderly and i was raised with my grandparents so i enjoy the time we stay with them and i feel like i cant be a good care giver because they thought me many thing that makes me feel like i am a good care giver.I like socializing with people and I like to interact with them.The personal achievement that i am proud of is when i was working in a home care and one of the resident light was on so when i went there to answer she told me that she has been waiting for long for somebody to help her and she told me what she needed and i help her ,she was so happy about it and she thanked me.I felt so happy that i can help someone who is in need.
