About Destinee

Hello! I've been a caregiver for 6 years at a retirement home working with disabled, Alzheimer's / Dementia, mentally challenged and hard of hearing patients. My duty's have been personal care such as grooming, bathing, dressing, feeding and toileting. I've seen it all and dealt with it all. I am CPR/First Aid certified through the American heart association and have experience with catheter care and colostomy bag care. I am very caring and love my work. My patients are quick to become part of my family and I give my very best to take good care of whatever their needs may be.

Hello! I have been a caregiver for a little over a year now, working in a facility and in-home care. I first decided to become a caregiver to gain some experience in the healthcare field as I am currently going to school for Nursing, and quickly fell in love with it. Caregiving gives me a sense of purpose that no other job has done before, I enjoy knowing that I am making a difference in somebody's day and helping others that may not be able to do things as easily as they used to be able to. I have met some amazing people this past year and have shared some ever-lasting moments. I would describe myself to be a kind, energetic, bubbly person who strives to make others happy and ensure that I bring positivity, as well as safety, to others around me.
