About DeAna

My compassion, attentiveness, and dependability makes me great caregiver. What attracted me to being a caregiver is working with people and most importantly taking care of elderly and sick patients. I enjoy putting a smile on someone's face and taking pride in the care that I provide. I am most proud of going back to school and obtaining my RN license after being an LPN for 9 years.
