About Sadekqua

My name is Sadekqua, but I go by the nickname Dee or Dee-Dee. I am an experienced healthcare professional, who has been in this field since I was 17 years old. I'm currently 35 years old and have worked in various areas of healthcare. I'm a Registered Medical Assistant, with experience in hospitals, doctors offices/clinics, and nursing homes. I've had private duty cases in the hospital and in the homes of others. The age ranges that I've worked with go from newborns to seniors. I really love being in this field, and that's why I've been in it for so many years. I'm loving naturally, I care about the well-being of others, and I enjoy making others feel good. I'm also a dog lover.

I became a caregivers when my grandmother became ill. Seeing progress, seeing faces light up when I walk in thee room, listening to past stories, their past, being able to help keep clients in there home and as much as possible independent. When you meet a client who just wants to give up and that perfect fit cna-comes along and gives that client hope and purpose to keep going. About me: I'm patient, kind and I think first before I react. I away put thee shoe or my foot first to see how it could affect thee other person before anything. I'm a good listener and follow directions as asked or written and I give a 120 percent or more to thee care of my job..

I love people and think we should all be treated with respect and kindness. I started caregiving due to the fact of both of my son's great-grandparents were diagnosed with dementia. I did not want them to be placed in a home or separated. Then after both of them passed away, I sadly went back to my wrecker service. Worked only two weeks and decided this is not what God wants me to do. So I went to work for Kelly's assisted living as an on-call coordinator and doing PCA work during the day. Then Mr Hartman came into my life he suffered from MS completely quadriplegic I was told I would be lucky if he lived 5 years. He became a father to me I kept him alive with the grace of God for over 20 years. He was a very large man that was bed bound but everybody was amazed that he only had one bed sore the entire time I took care of him. I do not have a problem with any pets and helping take care of them. I also will help your loved one with grocery shopping all ADLs and housekeeping.I love to make people smile. I have a quirky sense of humor. I also worked in a facility under memory Care. I just hope as I age someone will care for me as I have cared for the people in my life. With compassion, love, kindness and understanding. Thank you for considering me to care for your loved one. [?]
