About Dorothy

I became a caregiver about 8yrs ago. My fathered suffered a stroke. I became his full time caregiver and it was at this point in my life I knew this is where my career should be. This is what I wanted to do, this is what I knew I had to do. What makes me a great caregiver is empathy. I have so much love and care for my clients. Each of them are treated with dignity and respect. I grow very close with them. My heart is so big for their needs, and I make sure they are met to my capabilities. I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Lastly, my most personal achievement I am proud of is, at my last company (just recently moved out of state) I was personally requested by many families.

I believe the traits I have that make me a great caregiver is how compassionate and patient I am. I've always had a nurturing passion since I was little. My grandparents suffered from dementia and Alzheimer's that attracted me to the nature of helping others. I enjoy seeing the impact I can make on others when I help them, even if it's doing the smallest thing like brushing someone's hair or getting them ready for the day. A personal achievement I'm very proud of is when I was on the presidents list for HGTC back in 2017-2018 during my college years for outstanding academic achievement.
