About Danielle

Hi!! I am Danielle and I'd be interested in learning more about what you are looking for in a caregiver and if there is a chance I would make a good fit for your family! I am going to be honest, I am not certified with any medical/nursing degrees and I graduated from Michigan State University in Economics. While in college I applied on a site like this for some extra money in school and I fell in love with Bibi (Maya). After her son hired me to help her out a few hours a week as her mobility declined, he asked to move-in with her so she didn't have to go to a facility. He was an Anesthesiologist, so he wasn't able to care for her as much as she began to need, especially at night. I was honored he wanted me to care for his mother, I couldn't say no as I was certain no one else could care for her with love like myself. I moved in and took care of her until the day she passed. I was in charge of everything: meal prep, bathing, dressing, bathroom, cleaning, exercising, bedside care, medication admin and monitoring, scheduling with other care takers, and working with hospice to create the greatest end of life care I could ever give her. Bibi (grandma in Hindi) suffered from Parkinson's and slowly lost all mobility, she didn't speak English and I didn't speak Punjabi but we managed to create our own communication system, I treated her as if she was family. Her son will gladly provide a reference, I was kind of like their family caretaker. I cared for Bibi's home as if it was my own, cleaned my boss's home, tutored his son in college courses and cared for his younger daughter. I was able to maintain taking a full course load at MSU all the while. I recently moved back to Michigan after (very shortly) living in Tampa. I have been an IT Technical Recruiter for the last 1.5ish years and although I have a few opportunities to continue down that path, I really love caring for the elderly.

I am a caregiver with 15 years of experience. I believe giving each person the best care and respect they deserved. The best part of being a caregiver is to provided residents with assistance and care in all aspects of their daily life. My personal achievement is being able to gauge what a person needs and come up with a personal plan of action.

What makes me a great caregiver, is the love and passion I have to be one to care for another. I enjoy doing it, im not in it for the paycheck, I do it because it makes me feel good knowing I can help someone. I always grew up wanting to help others in one way or another.. I enjoy the smiles I can give someone simply by being there to assist them, knowing someone enjoys my care makes my heart swell. My biggest personal achievement I am proud of, is, my son.
