About Desiree

1. I became a caregiver because it is my passion and pleasure to help others who need assistance that is where my joy comes from. 2. I love being able to help others who need assistance especially if they have no family they become part of my family. 3. A personal achievement of mine is being able to make my clients comfortable in their time of need and allowing their family members to be rest assured that their loved one is in good hands. 4. I am a GA registered CNA/ MA and currently in school for my BSN/RN
