About Darlene

I first became a caregiver with my daughter, who was disabled from birth and I took care of her all her life. I also worked for California Mentor for about 2 years..... these clients lived with me at that time.... I have worked with private clients assisting with bathing, meds, preparing meals and light housekeeping. I love the work and would love to have the chance to again work in this profession.

I became a caregiver because I have a passion with providing care to those individuals who need assistant with staying in the comfort of their home safely. I enjoy being apart of a team who promote clients to reach their highest level of independence. After, discovering I really enjoyed the kind of work that I do I went back to school and pursued my CNA/HHA and Acute Care license. I have five years of experience as a PCA, My first encounter was taking care of a stroke client. I'm independent, empathetic, trustworthy, reliable and really committed with the job I've been called to do. I'm currently a Geriatric Aide and working for the Center for Elder's Independence as well.
