About Desiree

I first realized I wanted to be a caregiver when I had to take care of my grandparents in their old age. My grandmother was a nurse and she inspired me to start working as a CNA. I do wish to pursue a career in nursing but have yet to apply. I enjoy the one-on-one conversations with the residents and care persons and just love hearing their stories.

I have been a caregiver for over 30 years and enjoy working with people and being part of their lives. I ran a retirement home as an assisted-living director and ran the dining room and started the Alzheimer's unit. I have been working with home health agencies and also at facilities and enjoy doing activities with the residence and seeing people smiling and laughing because most of them do not have families that come and visit them so basically we are their family. I enjoy being a caregiver and being in their homes because then you get to be one on one with them which makes caregiving more personable and it's a blessing that most of them can stay in their homes. Being a caregiver is not a talent or something that you can be trained on it's mostly what's in your heart and knowing that the elderly need good people to take care of them and One day we are going to be in the position where we will need someone to take care of us so knowing that there are good caregivers out there it just makes it easier on the family to take care of their loved one.

Hello! A little about me- I am a Colorado Native currently studying for my degree in Human Development and Criminal Justice. I started working as a caregiver during my first year of undergrad and have very much so enjoyed it. I am always willing to lend a helping hand and take an extra step for anyone. What attracted me most to becoming a caregiver is being able to help someone who simply just needs it. I enjoy building relationships, and love leaving knowing someone's day was fulfilled.
