About Duwand

Hello there my name is DC (Duwand Constant) with a 2 year experience in the Medical Field. I have now recently moved to the Tampa area, and am looking to begin again as a caregiver here. As a caregiver my first approach is always to put the needs of the client first through active listening and demonstration. It's very important the client's needs are heard and also met, because they do have rights and I believe they should be respected. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver, is being able to make a difference in the life of someone else. One of my personal achievements as a caregiver that I am proud of was a client (who was on hospice at the time) told me, how through conversation, and listening, I made what were his last days at the time, a most enjoyable one. It connects to one of the main reasons for me to become a caregiver, because all of my life I have been taking care of people and providing care for others. And allows me to let someone see that just because they're being taken care of, doesn't mean it cant be an enjoyable experience for both you and them. My availability is that of overnights for two nights a week Thursday-Friday

My health care career started caring for my father who struggled with the debilitating effects of Parkinson's disease. Six years later, I decided health care was something I was good at, enjoyed, and found rewarding. I went to school and obtained my CNA license. I worked several years at Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Skilled Nursing Facilities. I have worked with several CareLinx families providing compassionate support and reliable care.

I originally started my healthcare career as a First Responder (EMT- Intermediate Grade) with American Heart Association CPR and American Red Cross Advanced First Aid Instructor certificates (though all said certifications are lapsed at this time) before moving on to other career choices. Four years ago, an opportunity for home healthcare assistance became available. I enjoyed that experience and continue to work with patients requiring some additional activities of daily living assistance.
