About Denise

I became a Caregiver because I got tired of Corporate America, I was always left feeling empty, it's difficult to explain. It's hard to keep your chin up when people either take credit for your work or no thank you at all. What I like about being a caregiver is the fact that I get to work one on one with a client, the personal interaction and the fact that the majority of clients, as well as the families are very grateful for my help. The personal achievement that I am most proud of is the fact that I do have my CNA Certification and I know that this is what I should be doing with my life. I believe in God, and doing the right thing. I love being a caregiver because I know that being of service is the most important and humbling thing that I can do to with my life.

I am a caring, compassionate, kind, patient, honest and reliable caregiver. I enjoy being a caregiver knowing I am helping people in various ways to achieve keeping their lives as normal and less stressful by doing all that is required and doing it well. I am the oldest of three and when my parents were at the age where they needed assistance I was there for them and realized they're so many other families in this situation and they are not able to be there for them. I enjoy meeting people and making a difference in their lives so that they can remain at home and not worry how will they do it.
