About Darlene

I am a people's person. I have taken care of children and seniors since I was a teenager. I helped in my family home taking care of foster children until I got married. Was a stay at home mom until my children were school age. I then took in children from new born up until my children went to high school. Then I started taking care of seniors whether it was just sitting with them while they were bed ridden. Making them lunch, helping them to the bathroom and making them laugh. When we moved to Az. I continued to do the same but I first went to work at a school for homeless children for the past seven years and now I want to go back to taking care of seniors. Whether it's in an assist ent living, or their home. I am certified back ground check finger printed. I also took a course in CPR

What makes me a great caregiver is that I' am very passionate about my job. I love working for others, providing the necessary care to improve the quality of life for my clients, I' am very patient, I' am a good listener, I communicate affectively, I' am a quick thinker, problem solver, and very caring. I became a caregiver to help others during a very delicate time. It is not always easy to ask for help, or receive help from anyone. This is what drives me to help others. To help them feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy making others happy. A personal achievement I' am proud is returning to school part time to receive a social work degree.
