About Deborah

I am a great caregiver because I am a nurturing and compassionate provider with over 20 years of experience. It is a rewarding experience to provide comfort and care for those who are in need of additional support in their homes. I inspire to make a difference in the lives of those I serve and find it a great accomplishment when I see improvements in a client's health as I assist in their care.

I enjoy hanging with the elderly people.Now I'm working as a home health aide since 2009 and I feel care giving job is part of my life. - I have the plan to study health related fields as I have passion for care giving, even though my educational back ground back home was environmental health technician.
