About Dominique

I became a care giver because I was raised by my grandmother and when I was around 11 or 12 years old my grandmother had a stoke which devastated me because she was my everything so I'd watch the nurses at the hospital and also when they'd come out to our home and I Just got this feeling of i'd love to be able to help my grandmother out more as well as make others feel better especially my grandmother so I went to school to become a medical assistant and shortly after I took a certified nursing assistant course I also became my grandmothers care provider for 7 years until cancer took over her body even doing the hospice stages I cared for my grandmother unfortunately she passed away in 2012 . I was also a caregiver for my aunt who passed away from cancer as well in 2013. Honestly my grandmother had a lot of health issues and I was her number one comforter and supporter as she was mine so the moment she fell ill I instantly developed a strong passion for helping others out. I'm thanful I was able to be blessed with a passion and empathy for people in need, I beleive in my heart I did everything I was able to do for my loved ones I've lost plus the numerous amount of people I was able to help and show love and support to at the nursing home I worked at for 7 years. I Took some time off to focus on my family I have 4 children a husband but I'm ready to step back out there and do what I was put here on this earth to do which is help others.

I am a happy, healthy, compassionate, loyal, patient, loving person who found my caregiver calling late in life. I am 66 years old and have been doing this for a little over 12 years and love what I do. I started when a couple different neighbors of mine were ill and didn't have any family to help them. I had my CPR CERT so I said why not and when they were doing better I decided to make this my work. (Experience through: IHSS, CARE.COM, CARELINX & CAMBRIAN HOME CARE) The first client I had was in very bad shape when I met him, diabetes, renal failure, heart failure, living on his own, not keeping up with his meds or taking his insulin properly. I called his Dr. got him on a med schedule and with the right food, TLC and exercise he did quite well. Since then I have had several different clients, one was on hospice and others I took to Dr appts., med Mgmt. , meal prep, errands and companionship. I'm looking now because one of my clients I had been caring for since 2015, unfortunately she passed away early November. I enjoy my work and I work very hard! Thank you so much, Cindy
