About Denise

I started being a professional caretaker about 2 years ago. I wanted to be a caretaker after taking care of my grandmother and great-grandmother for 5 years. I truly love this job and have treated all of my clients like family. I don't know another way. I want to give my clients the best life that they can have at this time in their life. I have experience both professionally and personally with Alzheimer's, Dimentia, Parkinson's, CHF, Oxygen therapy, and end of life care.

One of the reasons that makes me who I am as a caregiver is the compassion that I have in my heart for my clients and their families. I am a person of integrity, honesty, dependability and concern. It's about giving of myself to my clients and having a sense of the quality of life concerning the lifestyle they have. When I come into their presence a smile comes on their face. I will show the passion, give the encouragement, and hope they will have the confidence that I will know exactly what to do concerning their plan of care. I became a caregiver because of my mother's influence. Listening to her talk about her clients was interesting and heart warming and sometimes I felt sad and wanted to help, so I did! The rewards of being a caregiver is caring for those who cannot care for themselves or just needing a little help. Always understanding what care consists of at all times regardless of the situations and circumstances whether it's to assist or just HELP. I love what I do as a caregiver because I have a compassionate heart.
