About Destiny

I became a caregiver because of my grandmother. She needed me. I like being the person that the patient,their family can depend on and trust that I have the patients best interest at heart. My biggest personal achievement is taking care of my Mom(cancer) and my Grandma(Alzheimer's) at the same time. I am a 31yr old female in pursuit of starting my life. I have spent the last decade taking care of my Grandmother battling Alzheimer's disease.

I enjoy working with people and I most enjoy jobs where I have one-on-one interaction with others. I enjoyed taking care of my elder family members and would like to help others in this way. I like older adults and feel I can get along well with a variety of elders. I like doing work that has the potential to make a difference in someone's life. I like doing a variety of tasks in a day. I don't ever say, "That's not my job" but instead like pitching in to do whatever is needed. I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better. I take pride in attending to detail.
