About Desiree

I'm 26 years old. I'm what you call a ball of sunshine. Outgoing, compassionate, patient, dependable, caring and tender.I have a natural nurturing spirit. I was born to help and care for people. It makes me happy to know I've put a smile on someone's face or gave a helping hand. The reason why I chose this as my career is because my grandmother was a resident in hospice and ever since that I've had a desire to give back. Ive been volunteering in this field since I was 10yrs. But I've been working in this field for 8 years.I have experience ADL which includes bathing, feeding, grooming, dressing, cleaning up, tube care, transportin from bed to wheelchair, to car, medication reminders,meal prep, changing bad linen making sure my resident is comfortable and at peace at all times,providing companionship in a proper professional manner .Making sure I complete all yaks that is desired. I recently got my CNA certificate and I'm eventually going to go back to school soon to become a RN.
