About Deirdre

What makes me a great caregiver is the desire I have to see people stay in their own homes and live a great quality of life. I Chose to embark upon care providing because when I was a little girl I went with my church to sing at different convalescent hospitals and I always felt people would be happier in there own homes if it was a possibility. What I like best about caregiving is knowing im helping someone enjoy life while being able to remain in their home while receiving a great quality of care because I am one who believes in giving my all. An acheivement that is near and dear to my heart would be adopting my first child its a day I will never forget

I started working as a caregiver after working in the office of an apartment complex for low-income seniors. It was there that I became aware of how difficult life is for many older people, especially those with dementia. I realized that I couldn't work for the corporation that raised their rents, and that I would prefer to help people one on one. My first job was for the mother of a friend of mine who needed me to be with her while her husband took some "respite" time. She had advanced dementia, and I discovered that I have a real gift for this type of work. Most clients I've been with a year or more. The last one was for almost three years, and at the end I provided hospice care. I am compassionate and reliable. I have many references available.

I have 20 years of experience in this field. I feel very good when I a person under my care is getting better in health, mental and physical. I can cook and I make dishes for different tastes, and for different conditions. I like a clean place, I can help with light housekeeping. Prepare medications, order medications online, drive to Doctor's appointments, or other appointments. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE NIGHT SHIFTS and WEEKENDS, but I can work other shifts either, and on call.
