About Denise

I BECAME A CAREGIVER YEARS AGO, BECAUSE I ENJOY TAKING CARE OF THE ELDERLY AND THE DISABLED. I FEEL BEING A CAREGIVER IS DEFINETLY MY CALLING. AND IT SADDENS ME TO SEE HOW DISRESPECTFUL PEOPLE ARE TOWARDS THE ELDERLY AND THE DISABLED. I ON THE OTHER HAND, DEFINETLY HAVE THE HIGHEST RESPECT FOR THEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN SOME PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD COULD CARE LESS. WHAT I LOVE ABOUT BEING A CAREGIVER, IS KNOWING THAT IM HELPING PEOPLE THAT REALLY CAN NO LONGER FUNCTION ON THERE OWN WITH EVERYDAY LIVING. MY PERSONAL ACHIEVEMENT THUS FAR IS BEING IN THE POSITION WHERES I DONT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE RED TAPE THE STATE PUTS YOU THROUGH IN ORDER TO BECOME A CAREGIVER, IN THIS DAY AND TIME BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY BEEN PUT IN THE STATE SYSTEM MEANING (THE LIVE SCAN). IN YEARS PRIOR YOU DIDNT HAVE TO GO THROUGH ALL THE RED TAPE, THE LIVE SCAN SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPLEMENTED YEARS AGO MAYBE PEOPLE NEEDING ASSISTANTS WOULDNT BEEN VICTIMS OF ROBBERY AND ABUSE.IM A VERY INDEPEND IT PERSON, IM ALSO A VERY BUSINESS ORIENTED PERSON A SINGLE PARENT IM THE MOTHER OF 9 CHILDREN. UNFORTUNETLY MY 1ST AND 2ND BORN SONS WERE KILLED 2 YEARS AND 2 MONTHS AND 1 DAY APART. SO I DEFINETLY KEEP ALL THINGS POSITIVE IN MY LIFE, SO IT WOULD BE A BLESSING FOR ME RIGHT NOW TO FIND A JOB DOING WHAT I LOVE TO DO, AND THATS HELPING CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND THE DISABLED.

    I'm a very patient and caring person, I work with althemizer & dementia clients the most but have worked with so many different clients with different disabilities, I love doing this kind of work it gives me substance and I love being there for people or lending a helping hand, I've worked in this field since 2003, starting with children then with seniors, I have my drivers license, a car and insurance, have pass the livescan, if clients are able I like taking them out and doing things with them movie, shopping or whatever the client feels they would like to do or go. I'm very trustworthy and hate being late, sometimes I might get there a lot early but will be there with a smile and ready to help
