About Desiree

I have a strong passion for helping other people which is why caregiving brings me the most joy. I am a very compassionate and empathetic person who thrives in an environment where I am needed. I pride myself in providing my patients with the best care possible and making them feel 100% comfortable and safe. I have experimented with many different jobs and caregiving is always the postion in which I feel the most achieved and pleased at the end of the day. I am thankful for the role I play and take it very seriously. I treat my patients as if they were my own family members and provide them the care that each person truly deserves. I have cared for many people and families, and making a positive impact and difference in a persons day, week, or life is always my main goal when heading into work.

Experience & Education

Home Health Aid/ Caregiver

Jan 2016 - Present
Alma Larson
I cared for a young man with severe autism spectrum disorder for 2 years. During this time, I made sure I was at his home before he got home from school, I helped him to the door when getting off the bus, I prepared meals for him, assisted him in using the restroom, bathing, and other basic hygeine. There were times where I stayed overnight to watch him and on a typical day we spent time in the yard watering plants or swimming, he also loved puzzles and video games, and going to stores to help organize clothing racks. I helped him practice with his speech and went to a few of his appointments. I comfortably handled any tantrum or incident that may have occurred with kindness and compassion.
