About Devyn

What makes me a great caregiver is I've been in loved one shoes before. I had a mother who was diagnosed with diabetes at a young age so I was born into the atmosphere of caring for someone. My mother was a double leg amputee from the knees down so my first process of caring for someone was with her until she passed in 2012 which had me very depressed and I missed caring for someone because it's so natural to me. I started researching more in the health field and I have been caregiving for others loved ones since 2013 I have a passion for what I do and go above and beyond to make sure every need is met and well taken care of. I am currently a Dementia coordinator at an assisted living and and love being patient and taking time out of my day to create moment of joy for my residents and ensure all their needs are met including activities and exercises as well. My personal achievement I am proud of is everywhere I have been employed or had the opportunity to care for someone my team has never been disappointed and always make an known statement of how great of a job I do at what I do and standing out as an over achiever is always my goal.

Dementia coordinator

Jul 2013 - Present
River Ridge Retirement Village
I have spent over 9 years caring for personal and family loved ones. I absolutely love caring for others and very natural atmosphere as well. I am a morning person, so daytime hours are preferred but I am very flexible if needed. I am highly recommended by family members based off my high quality care. I have a very high patience tolerance and absolutely enjoy working with memory care residents. I am currently a Dementia coordinator and love creating moment of joy everyday to ensure they are well taken care of and ensure a positive quality of life. I am med tech certified if medications are necessary. I have gone through the process of losing or caring for a loved one as in my mother so it is my life long goal and passion to care for others the way my own deserved. Thank you so much for taking the time to read and please don't hesitate to ask me questions!

I have always had a deep passion for people. If there is anything I can do to brighten someones day, I do my best to do just that. I want to get into caregiving because of many personal experiences I have gone through. A year and a half ago my brother had a brain tumor and had to undergo surgery. I worked with him everyday and watching him regain his strength. This was one of the most rewarding things in my life. My grandparents are very valuable people to me of whom I love to provide companionship for. I love listening to their stories, going on walks and talking about hard topics in order to spark deep conversations. Although I have no actual experience in this line of work, I am willing to do whatever it takes to learn and be the best at the jobs I am presented with. I am very proud of the jobs I have had in the past. I work hard and the most important thing to me in a job is building relationships with others. Everywhere I have worked, I have built a new family; and this is something I am truly proud of. This makes work more enjoyable for everyone involved.
