About Derrica

I'm passionate about what I do, I love caring for the elderly as if they were my family. Just knowing you helping someone out just puts a huge smile on my face. I love the bond & companionship I share with my patients most touching feeling. I have been a caregiver for 4 years now and it's nothing I rather enjoy doing besides caring for others. Experienced with bed written patients, medicine reminder, running errands, meal preparation, oxygen machine, blood pressure etc. It's not about money, its what makes you enjoy doing.

    I have always loved being able to help people and find ways to take care of them. I am a very people oriented person and love helping others. I have been doing this a long time. One thing I am very proud of is learning how to stand on my own feet and take care of myself after going through a personal loss.

    I have worked at an Assisted Living when I was in high school and that by far was my favorite job. I love being in the environment of the elderly simply because they give you great life stories on how to better yourself for you and your work place, sitting down and talking to some of them have already helped me change my life for the better. I believe that my passion is with an elderly. I have an unconditional love for the elderly and I would love nothing more than to achieve my dream of being a Caregiver, knowing that I can help someone who can't always help themselves. I am very trustworthy, I am responsible in all my actions. I am 21 years old, I have been through a lot to make me the person I am today. I am self sufficient, and want what is best for everyone, I make sure every body else is taken care of before I take care of myself. I was in the JROTC program in high school, I was the Color Guard Captain, as well as the Drill Team Captain. I want to fulfill my dreams in being a care giver.
