About Darra

Hello, my name is Darra and I have been a caregiver for over eight years. I have ample amount of experience taking care of a variety of patients and their needs. My experience and knowledge in the healthcare field ranges from all different ages and settings such as hospital work, long-term care, home health, and hospice. Caregiving is not only a passion of mine but a way of life for me. In the beginning of this year, I decided to pursue my lifelong dream and become a small business owner. As a private duty home health care worker, I am fully vaccinated, CPR certified and CPI certified. I am a very friendly, easy going person and extremely hardworking. If you choose to hire me for yourself or your family member, you will not be disappointed.

I grew up watching my parents taking care of my grand parents , I guess it comes naturally to me doing the same . Taking care of other gives you that inner satisfaction which is hard to find in other work settings. I'm proud to be a Nurse .

My caring, compassionate, and sympathetic characteristics make me a great caregiver and companion for people of all ages. I am attracted to being a caregiver solely because I get true fulfillment from helping others. Additionally, I am working towards being in the medical field for my career, so this experience of is just another way that I am allowed the opportunity to expand my journey of serving others. I personally enjoy the bond I get to build with the people I care for and the relationships that come out of them. A personal achievement I am proud of is being a collegiate athlete. Being an athlete while studying for my degree, has taught me life long skills of time managements, discipline, and dedication.
