About Darlene

I became a caregiver to be able to help others. I always have a desire to work with the elder. I have 12 years of experience in working as a CNA. I love to do what I do. I am a volunteer soccer coach and assistant at the ymca and Bowles life center. I feel that when you get older and wiser you can learn a lot from a conversation and being someones companion.

    I remember as an young girl I loved helping my Mom take care of my grandmother. I believe this was the moment that I felt this was my purposes in life; My focus has always been to care, love, and make people's smile. When a person know that their genuinely cared for it blesses them, and lifts their spirits, it's an motivator.. I've been loving and making people's smile for 15+ years. I believe that the best is yet to come, as I continue to be a blessing to the ones that need my services.

    I became a caregiver when my mother fell ill, and I took on the role of her provider. After she passed away, I felt a deep desire to dedicate myself to helping others. I know that one day I, too, will need assistance, and I hope to receive the same compassionate care. As a caregiver, I've learned to give my all and truly understand the importance of patience, empathy, and dedication in caring for others.
