Alicia’s Bio
Hello my name is Alicia. I'm a 48 year old mother of 6 and currently a preschool teacher, where I'm starting my 4th year. As a high school senior I was trained as a nurse aide and I worked in that field for about 4 years in various nursing homes and a residential center.
Though I am not certified and it's been many a year since I worked as an aide I still enjoy taking care of and serving others. With an aging mother of my own far away I know the importance of having someone who will be there to help them, take some time with them, dote on them, or just talk with them. I am happy to help with personal hygiene such as bathroom trips or showers if need be, drive to appointments whether it's the doctor or the salon, will do light housecleaning and laundry, will run errands such as groceries, post office, pharmacy, or just take walks, build a puzzle, or read together.
I am currently working part time in the mornings in a day care as a preschool teacher and think spending my afternoons with an older adult would be ideal. I am available most Mondays through Fridays from 2 p.m. until 6p.m or so, perhaps later if I can have at least a week's notice.
I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, and I'm most pets friendly. I am allergic to cats but I enjoy all animals.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you and having the opportunity to spend time caring for your loved one.
