About Desiree

The defining point that led me to the field of caregiving was caring for my grandmother. After those two summers I decided to embark on a career in the profession. I have been in for 3 years now and absolutely love it! I am patient, kind, and very talkative. The thing I enjoy most about being a caregiver is getting to know the lives of the different clients I've had and forming a friendship.
