Hi, My name is DeDe.
Being a caregiver for 10+ years has really helped me in so many ways. When my great grandmother was really sick and my family had a hard time finding help, I took it upon myself to take care of her until she passed away. This experience led me to my true passion.

I enjoy the opportunity to impact my clients' lives in a positive way. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. I always give 100% and do the best job I can with no exceptions and no excuses. I take care of my clients physically, mentally and emotionally to enable them to have the best quality of life possible.

As a personal caregiver of 20 plus years, I always give 101% of my service in caring for my clients. I am passionate of my work and love my job. As a young girl growing up I always felt strong about studying in the nursing field to advance in my career.
I love and respect elders. They have so much to give back if you only listen. I have had many older friends, especially at church. I was very close to my grandparents and loved to help them. So working for people in their golden years is a responsibility I take very serious. They deserve all the respect I can give. One of my favorite things I've done is take my 96 year old distant cousin on a cruise in Hawaii. We visited 4 islands in 7 days. So much fun. It was like taking a kid to the circus for the first time. We had a blast! I have 2 daughters who have blessed me with 10 grandkids.
I do enjoy working as a caregiver because i can learn more about life, people really likes to tell experiences of their life and give advise for a better living.
im proud to say that I was with my grandmother when she past away and taking care of her on the last time its priceless.
I am a very caring person. I'm patient , very considerate of others.. I am a Certified Nurses Assistance, has been since 2002. I have been in the medical field for over 30 years. I am very dedicated , dependable, and have plenty of experience. I owned & operated 2 Assisted living for over 10 yrs.
I am a very committed, loving, reliable and patient caregiver with over 15 years experience in both hospitals as well as the community ( patients homes/ hospices). I do impart what I do for my children at home in my clients homes; for the bulk of patients needing care are of the geriatric age with most times, underlying dementia probably secondary to stroke ( which could be mild, moderate or severe). With such clients one needs to exercise patience, tolerance, vigilance and also maintain their dignity; the latter in the way of grooming and keeping the environment clean, feeding at the right time, exercising ( if they can) and sleeping at the right time too. Keeping them engaged helps to dampen the loneliness that is so common among the elderly today! Because I am a "peoples" person, I enjoy being around patients/clients, listening patiently and responding verbally or providing their needs promptly.
Having managed a lot of geriatric patients over the years, I am able to recognize a probable Urinary tract infection/ chest infection; they tend to get confused; in such situations I know to contact a doctor's office promptly.
I am a believer of "if you don't document, it never happened "; so good documentation skills as well as organizational skills are some of my traits that have been beneficial in jobs where I did work independently.
I do look forward to providing my style of care to any interested client!
I am a health care professional taking a career break and have decided to extend my expert care to patients especially at home; exclusive of treatment/ management.
