About Debbie

My name is Debbie, and I have been in healthcare for over 37 years as a registered respiratory therapist. I have worked in hospitals and rehabilitation centers caring for adults, pediatrics and infants. I primarily worked with adults and loved it. However, after all the years of 12 hour shifts and heavy patient loads, I have decided to do something new. That is why I chose to be a caregiver. I still can enjoy my clients and provide quality care and have the time to do so. I am 67years old and have been widowed for 10 years. I raised two boys who I am very proud of and a grandmother. I am by myself so I have flexibility for my clients hours. I am a good cook , easy to talk to and very outgoing.

I have worked with seniors since I was 9 years old volunteering at senior living care homes. I have always had a special place in my heart for elderly. As I became an adult I knew I wanted to keep working with them. I have worked with several families in Reno for the last 16 years. I am patient, kind, and will give them the dignity they deserve. I have experience helping with medication reminders and organization, bathing, meal prep, light housekeeping, running errands, and companionship.

What inspired me to become a caregiver was helping a family member with dementia and cancer. At that time I started to realize the need for high quality caregivers, and the gap that currently exists in extended care options for the senior population. After completing a full business career, I have now dedicated myself to the care giving vocation in order to help close this gap for high quality support. I have extensive first hand knowledge, as well as professional training, that I can share with clients and their families who are experiencing what I have already gone through. In this respect I can offer many more resources and skills to raise the level of support being offered.
