About Debra

In the course of my career I have worn many hats and have grown by observing others. As a hands-on team player I look forward to new experiences. In an effort to further my education I have attended many lectures and classes ; such as philosophy, health, holistic health, self help, business, etc. and will continue to do so. For over 30 years a majority of my career has been in the healthcare / companion industry that has allowed me to follow my passion and be where I am today. As a quick learner I easily adapt to new environments and procedures. During my career I have worked in Rehab centers, Assisted living, formal and informal homes. I have taken most of my private clients on domestic and foreign trips. Although some of my positions were only for a short time I still walked away with new ideas. The travel opportunities and learning experiences throughout my career have been invaluable. In the course of my employment I was introduced to many positive and unique people who shared their views from the business world to their own personal experiences. I have learned a great deal working with all my clients and I would like to carry that knowledge to my next position. In Nov. of 2008 I took some time off from my career to take care of my father and after a long illness he passed away. I then went back to school to study how to help prevent illness and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Resume and references will be displayed after contact and I will have my back ground check. My rates are $15.00 to $30.00
