About Dorothy

I have over thirty years experience from hospitals to convalescent homes to private care. I worked through Jewish family services in the past as well. One of my past patients was the father to two Ivy league doctors sons that I cared for for over five years. My last patient passed away that I cared for for over nine years. I have medical experience with every type of patient. I am familiar with medical terminology and have a higher college degree. Every patient I worked for was pleased with the care I had given them. I am very reliable. I have a compassionate personality and feel for my patients dilemmas.

I love making a different in the lives of others. After caring for my father for five years in Africa, I realized this is a profession that I'm good at and passionate about. When working with my father, I developed patience and empathy, and also have been working as a caregiver for about 5 years with a lot of experience. In the event of an emergency, I would recall the training I have learned and immediately follow the standard protocol and call 9-1-1 if needed. I have active CPR certification, so I feel confident performing that, If required
