Deborah P.

*My personality traits is I am very happy in what I do for a living so I am constantly smiling, great nurturing, I am very firm, loving, caring, absorbing, very diligent, and Self Sufficient. * One thing that attracted me to being a caregiver is I was a PCA to a young boy who had pass away. He inspired me to want to better my life and I found my passion. *The thing that I enjoy about being a caregiver is being able to make the family feel comfortable about leaving their love ones alone with me. Keeping the family at ease mentally. Also making the client feel like they are love and cared for at all times. *My personal achievement is getting my GED, CNA licences and being in college to become a nurse.

Becoming a caregiver grew from my personal experience of caring for my grandfather. My grandfather built his home with his own hands and all he wanted was to live out his life in it. Watching him become less capable to care for himself and his house quickly became the driving force behind my overpowering desire to help seniors stay in their homes. Think of me like a multi tasking personal life assistant! What is that you ask? Well...... not only can I provide assistance with daily living tasks, but I can also assist with all aspects of household management. I can accompany you to appointments, be an advocate by your side, a voice for you, or just help you by listening and taking notes. I can help you run errands, food shop & track and manage household management tasks like maintenance & repairs. One day I may be fixing the dishwasher, the next day I'm correlating all your upcoming medical appointments and family visits. I believe that our age should not dominate our lives, how old we are does not determine who we are. I will do anything I can to help someone continue living in their home, because I believe if that's what they wish, then they deserve a chance. Aging in place is a realistic and viable option that we should always consider.
