About Desiree

I became a Caregiver/ CNA because I enjoy helping others, especially the elderly. I get a sense of fulfillment when I can make someones day go by a bit easier-everyday. A personal achievement that I am proud of is being able to graduate college, and having returned to school to become a CNA. My Name is Desiree Thomas and I am 26 years old, and a mother to one. A college graduate with an Associates Degree- Associates of Science in Criminal Justice. I also have taken the state exam and I am currently a Registered Certified Nurse's Aid in which I obtained in 2014. I consider myself to be level-headed health professional who remains calm and effective in extremely difficult and stressful situations. I have a strong belief in importance of companionship and support in patient care.
