About Doreatha

My mother was a dialysis patient, and an amputee, I went to school in order to be able to take care of her. Before I finish the program, my mother passed away. I knew that there were other elderly patients that needed to be taken care of. I treat every one as if they were my mother, or father. I love taking care of people. I truly believe that being a care giver/certified nursing assistant is my true calling. I believe that my greatest achievement is being love by my patients, and loving them in return. I am 59 years old, I have worked in nursing homes for 14 years, I have also done private duty. I have done both. Right now I want to be able to take care of only one patient at a time.

    For the past decade, I have assisted aging, ill, and terminal friends and family in all aspects of their daily living to improve their quality of life in any reasonable manner possible. Although my certification expired, I have previously been certified in CPR and will re-certify ASAP. I am quite familiar with medication regimes and am experienced in IM injections, such as those required for a diabetic client, but I am not certified for Intravenous Injection. I have inserviced and provided/administered many forms of occupational and physical therapies for clients and am accomplished in therapeutic massage and pedicures. I provide reading services, am an accomplished Scrabble player, enjoy card games, such as Rummy (but no Poker or Bridge...), and play other board games and enjoy jigsaw puzzles, also. While my Bachelor of Arts is in English, with a minor in Speech Communications, much of my professional work has involved in crisis management and governmental processes so I am very familiar with "Red Tape" and dealing with the requirements of documentation for personal/ medical / and social programs. I am also an accomplished cook and homemaker and if I don't know the recipe or the process, I will locate or take direction for the best possible results in the kitchen, bath, and home. Finally, I am an intelligent, caring woman, raised on a farm in South Louisiana, educated and well-read, have a good and practical sense of humor and a well developed caring mentality, steeped in patience and compassion.
