About Delphonia

Hi, I'm Delphonia! I've known since I was a young girl that helping others was in my spirit. My 1st job at the age of 19 was in a nursing home. I started in the laundry room, but my passion was really in direct care, so ever since then this it's all I've done in some capacity as an HHA, CNA, MA, MAS, Dr's offices, residential care etc.. I believe my many years of experience makes me the perfect candidate to look after your loved one. I looked after both my parents after they had their strokes . Working in nursing homes, home health care, hospitals, afforded me the ability to work with patients of al ages with various health problems. I especially love working with the elderly; the wisdom, knowledge I gain, and sincerity is like no other. There's nothing else I'd rather be spending my time doing. I can truly say that caregiving is my calling. I became a caregiver because I've known since I was a little girl that I wanted to be in the medical field in some capacity. Taking care people was in my blood. I was always the one who bandaged up my baby dolls, or my friends who needed it, or the animals who were hurt, so when I got my first job at a nursing home working in the laundry room and housekeeping, being around those precious residents just solidified my true calling and this is what I was meant to do. I became a NA (nurses' assistant) , now known as CNA's, long before you needed a license, or before you had to go to state board to pass a test, so that was back in the 80's. I was 19 years old and I'll soon be 50. This is what I've done most of my adult life. I don't think of it as a job, or a career, I think of it as just spending time with someone who needs a little extra help in their seasoned years. I absolutely love it. I honestly couldn't see myself doing anything else.

I became a caregiver to be able to help some one family get through difficult times that they may be having with their love ones. And be able to give and show support in their love ones daily activities. I enjoy being a caregiver because it gives me a chance to show myself approve to some one else's family. I am able to be responsible for my patients, take pride in my work, and be a team player. As well as letting the families know that they can rely on me at any giving time to provide good services to their love one. My personal achievement is taking care of my comatose son, and knowing that I was able to do the best job in providing care for him before he past. After he past I took the opportunity to go back to school and received my Patient Care Diploma, Nursing Aid/ Home Health Review Certificate, as well as my Phlebotomy Certificate. I take pride in my work when I am dealing with my patients, I make sure my patients mental, and physical health comes first as well as there families needs. I am a team player, responsible and a take charge person when need to be. I am also loyal to my patients and there families.
