About Allison

Experience: 5 yrs

Hello! I am a compassionate, dependable, and experienced caregiver who genuinely enjoys helping others. I am also a full-time special education teacher with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals with diverse needs. I have experience providing care in private homes and assisted living settings, including supporting individuals with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and intellectual or developmental disabilities. I have completed Certified Nurse Aide training and clinical experience at Well-Spring Assisted Living. I enjoy meaningful companionship, conversation, light meal preparation, medication reminders, and assistance with everyday activities. I am seeking a consistent, part-time opportunity with a private family during select weekday evenings or weekends. I specialize in companionship and non-medical support for older adults and adults with mild support needs.

Allison was a very nice individual and my father enjoyed working with her. As we're offering very limited part-time work, we know that we can't be much of a priority for someone with a full plate like Allison: full-time job, family, kids, school. Upfront I expressed my concern due to the time & energy to interview people, get someone in place, get them trained by PT, etc.. I was assured she had no issue juggling all of it. Employment lasted only 1 month, with missed/canceled sessions on her part each of the last two weeks, followed by a text noting "an unexpected change in my full-time work schedule, unfortunately, can't continue working with your dad", no notice. Pretty much what I expected for someone with that full a plate. Dad enjoyed working with her, and she indicated she enjoyed working with him as well. I just wish Allison had made a proper assessment of her commitments and priorities, which would have avoided wasted time and energy (and some expense) by all parties.
