About Dorothea

My name is Dorothea, and I am a certified Home Health Aide. I live and work in Naples and wanted to tell you a little bit about myself and the kind of work I do in the hope we may work together. It is my intention to maintain and elevate your quality of life and to provide excellent home care. - I was born and raised in the City of Cologne in Germany where my very early career was as the secretary of the managing director of a large insurance group. In 2005, after my graduation as a cosmetician, I started my own business, a beauty parlor. The majority of my clients had been in the age group of 55+. From 2009 on I additionally supported my husband in building up his real estate business. - Together with my husband I moved to Southwest Florida in 2013 and worked as companion for a Home Care Agency. After my graduation as a Home Health Aide I started my own business in 2016, “Lucky Clover – Dorothy’s Home Care Services”. My services cover:• Companionship / • Engaging clients in activities such as games, reading, walking, light exercises / • Grocery / • Light housekeeping (incl. laundry, ironing) / • Meal preparation, fresh cooking/baking / • Running errands / • Transportation (such as driving to appointments, errands, events, shopping) - Friendliness, professionalism and reliability are my strengths. Please call me if you wish to discuss any of this information in more depth, or if you have the need for an exceptional home care service. - I look forward to working with you. - Never be alone. I will be around!

Hello! My name is Keesha and I have been a caregiver, for a little over 2 years. I have traveled the world, worked some of the best jobs, eaten amazing food, been to some spectacular shows, museums and events, but caregiving has been the most rewarding experience thus far. As a 31 year young woman, there is always significant age difference between my clients and I, and I think that's what makes our relationships so special. Each client is like a new book. I learn so much of their lives, who they were, their spouse, kids parents, etc. and they get to learn so much from me! Being a caregiver is more than just completing daily chores, it's about connected with the individual. It's understanding that they're in a new/last phase of their lives, and this phase should be treated with attentiveness, love, patience and respect. I love what I do and I think it's special. I am grateful to have had certain individuals come into my life, to teach me more about life. ~Keesha
