About Doretha

I am a great caregiver because of how much I love to work with and take care of people. I became a caregiver when my grandfather got sick and very much enjoyed taking care of him. One of my proudest moments occurred when I was working in a nursing home with a difficult resident who refused everybody's instructions to get out of bed. I would go into his room every day trying to get him up, until one day he asked me if I was every going to let him be. When I told him I would not give up, he finally got out of bed. The resident is now doing very well, participates in many activities, and is walking consistently. I feel very proud of my perseverance and the impact that I made on this man's life.

I became a Caregiver/Home Health Aid while caring for my grandmother who passed away. After she became ill - I cared for her, bathed her, changed her and her bedding, fed her, watched TV and read with her and cooked and cleaned for her. I enjoyed doing this and spending time with her knowing that she was getting the proper care. I have many skills I am a violist, a dancer, a bartender and I Home Health Aid. I enjoy all of these and what I enjoy most is getting to know the different people.
