About Alex

Since I began working with people with intellectual disabilities over a year and a half ago I have grown increasingly confident and passionate for this work. I believe in taking every opportunity to affect as much positive change in the world as possible. I have developed a work ethic that implements compassion, urgency, and efficiency in equal measure to ensure that I meet the goals I set for myself and for those placed within my responsibility. Most importantly, I know that the people I take care of are strong, endearing, and unique individuals who deserve the absolute best standard of assistance I can give. I can promise that I will hold myself to that standard every step of the way as I work with you and for you.

Program Coordinator / Caregiver

Jan 2020 - Present

High Spirit Community Farm

In my role as a Program Coordinator at High Spirit Community Farm I have acquired and honed many skills to be the best possible caregiver I can be. On any given day I work with as many as three residents to assist them with their daily activities and needs. Meal preparation, assistance with eating, administration of medication, personal care and hygiene are among the chief responsibilities on a day to day basis, from 8 o'clock in the morning all the way until bedtime. I have become adept in patient but effective communication, attentive care provision and efficient multi-tasking. I believe this job has properly equipped me to provide the quality of care that you and your loved ones deserve, and I look forward to doing so.

SUSAN D.

Somethings come naturally, and caring for children and the elderly seems natural for me. The years prior to my parents passing away, I worked a full time job and still helped take care of my parents. I spent weekend and evening with them. There were no regrets after they passed. What I enjoy the most about caregiving is the pleasure it gives the person I'm helping, and the good feeling I get assisting them. I know both my parents were proud, happy and relieved to be able to have stayed at home until they died. We are a close knit family and that is why I started helping my Aunt and a family friend once my parents passed and I became retired. My daughter is an RN and my son owns his own excavation company. I have six grandchildren, 5 girls and 1 boy. The boy was the last :) I live in a 4 tenement house that originally belonged to my grandparents, then my parents and now my brother owns it. 17yrs ago I moved back to Adams after living in California for 20 yrs. One of the apartments was available so I decided to not buy another house, and just live in the apartment next door to my parents. I had a baby monitor in my parents bedroom and in my bedroom so if they needed me during the night, they could just "yell", which my Mom did often because she could no longer walk on her own. Both my children live on the same street as I do, which makes it nice. I moved back to the Berkshires just in time to enjoy my parents last years before passing.
