Experience: 9 yrs
I am a New York State certified nursing assistant. I have always had a strong connection with senior citizens due to my Grandmother being a strong influence and role model in my life. I feel that seniors are more enjoyable to be around and I sincerely love working with them. I'm very comfortable working with seniors and I have 9 years experience working within this field. I worked in an assisted living community and was trained in a Northwell affiliated nursing home. I have provided home care for about 20 patients throughout my time working as a CNA. I graduated from Molloy University in 2023 with my Bachelor's degree in Social Work and got my Masters in Social Work in 2025 from Fordham University. Looking for Saturday and Sunday as needed (Does not need to be a consistent schedule) About 8-16 hours per week (hours can vary). Will accept one-time jobs or as a fill-in aide.
We hired Alyssa to be a companion/care giver for my elderly mother, with Alzheimers. She was wonderful with her and our whole family. Honest & trustworthy!!! She would drive my mom to appointments as needed and take her out for walks etc. Help her with bathing & dressing, cleaning & laundry, medications and meal prep. As her schedule changed for school she was unable to fill the time we needed someone, but we still use Alyssa for evenings & weekends if she's available. She has become part of our family!!
