About Darla

I became interested in caregiving when I first worked in a nursing home doing housekeeping. I saw how nurses neglected the residents and hated it! I became more interested when I was given the opportunity to care for a man who couldn't be mobile due to robbers beating him up.. I made his meals, did his laundry, houeswork, and fed his dog. I also gave him piece of mind enough to sleep. For the first time in months, he slept a full twelve hours in bed (he'd been sleeping in a chair). These simple things mean a lot to someone who can't do them anymore. I'm dependable, trustworthy, patient and, also a mom which means, taking care of others comes naturally..

I work for the agency for over 5 years now and before that I took care of my grandparents for decades until they passed away. They are the reason why I became a caregiver. I consider myself as very patient and have a great compassion for another because of my understanding of what the person is going through. My actual clients say I am attendant, dependable and trustworthy, beside my excellent time management and organizational skills. I enjoy being a caregiver because I like working with elderly people and like to help others in this way. I like making someone smile and doing little things to make a person's day better - that can be extremely rewarding.
