About Deborah

I am a natural nurturer. My passion is the older population for many reasons. I look at my work as a service to others but all as a service to myself by being able to do what I love. I was a working wife and mother of 3 children. I ran my own Agency for 13 years as well as my household. Now I am on my own. My husband passed away and the children grew up and are off to college. I sold my business back in November of 2016. I have found out that I don't feel complete not doing something so I have decided to get back into Caregiving. I am sure that there is a family or person that I am supposed to be caring for out there. I am experienced in everything from Palliative Care to Alzheimer's. As far as I go.... I'm a very positive and easy going person. I don't let alot of things bother me. I live one day at a time because today is all I really have and I'm going to make the best of it.

Helping Hands For Seniors
Debi B, 15 Yrs Experience, 48 Yrs Old, Mom of 3 in College. I have a passion for Senior's and totally enjoy what I do. I started my own Home Healthcare Agency from the ground up. My husband and myself started it from the ground up. He has since passed away of Stage 4 Rectal Cancer in Nov 2016. I took 6 months to myself to decide what I wanted to do and I decided to sell the company and move to the Sarasota Area and just find some private pay work to cover the bills. I have always wanted to live out by Siesta Key. I am highly qualified in home health and have worked with over hundreds of clients and their families. I am trained in everything you can imagine, for memory care to parapelgics. I am simply looking for the right family that can use my experiences to help them along in their journey. As I stated my husband passed away, my 3 kids are all away in College, and the only responsibility that I have is myself, so I am available at all hours or shifts that maybe neccessary. I am a positive person and love to cut up and laugh. I can work under stressful situations however I enjoy making life fun. We only live once so I say lets make the best of it.
