About Darrell

Hi my name is Darrell, I have been a caregiver for over 10 years. Prior to becoming a caregiver I was an assistant preschool teacher for 2 years. My first 5 years as a Caregiver I've worked with individuals who were physically and mentally challenged. I also served as a live in supervisor for one year in a group home setting with three individuals. From 2016 to present day, I've mainly been working with elderly individuals right in their own homes or senior home setting. I provide a wide range of services from companionship, daily living needs, to running errands, and appointments etc. I'm very attentive and willing to adapt to the specific needs of any individual I come in contact with. In general I simply enjoy helping others in need of assistance and feel like this is has been my calling for many years now, this is the main reason why I chose to become a caregiver. I aim to go above and beyond the expectations of whomever I may get the opportunity to assist.

I am a caregiver who likes to demonstrate empathy and compassion for senior. Supporting the patient's family members, who may be struggling to cope with their loved one's decline. I feel the desire to want to help as a caregiver will, I'll let the family and the patient know that I care about them. For instance, I will try to do what i can to help not because I have to, but because i want to, putting a smile on my patients face every is my goal making happy and feel loved .
