About Deborah

I became a caregiver because I want to make a difference in the lives of the elderly. I care about their overall health and quality of life. My work experiences, range from care giving of children and the elderly to handling every aspect of a business office. Clients I have provided care to have often commented on my upbeat and helpful attitude. They say I am a great teacher and very patient. Also, I was recognized by my elder care supervisor for going above and beyond my job responsibilities, dependability, excellence in detailed tasks and creative problem solving. I truly enjoy helping people: educating, caring for, relieving their concerns, making them comfortable and bringing out their smile and renewed confidence. This passion is reflected in my performance and contributes greatly to my success as well as the quality of care received by my patients. Using my abilities to further the mental and overall health of others gives me great satisfaction. Combining my new & former skills, with my bachelor’s degree and work experience, I would be a great asset to you. I love singing, doing crafts & art, traveling, the outdoors, exercise, helping others, trying new things and getting to know people.

I am a people person and love taking care of people. At the end of the day, it makes me feel good to know I helped someone else. I tend to go above and beyond for others, it comes natural for me. Going through the training to become certified has been a personal achievement, I was nervous at first, thought it would take forever. When I finished the training and became certified I felt great, because I could continue taking care of others. I am Covid-19 vaccinated.
