I have acquired a wealth of knowledge through my experiences, education and athletic endeavors. Throughout my life I have been gifted with the chance to accompany and help many people through critical points in their life. I am very resourceful, creative, patient, calm, quite and highly educated. I have been working with families and seniors in paid positions since I was in high school. I have been doing live-in care for over 15 years. My acquired Masters and PhD in Western Medical Sciences support the holistic care I share as a Yoga instructor and Ayurvedic Lifestyle consultant. I find working as a caregiver a priceless experience and very fulfilling. I am easy to get along with and can fulfill a variety of duties. I have included more of my work experience and accomplishments below.

Hello, my name is Olivia Deraway. I am extremely empathetic and compassionate. I have experience volunteering and working with adults with disabilities. I also have experience volunteering at my local Nursing Homes. I sincerely enjoy helping people of all ages. When I am able to help someone else and make them happy it makes me happy. I enjoy meeting new people and being reliable for someone. One of my greatest achievements is being selected as president of our Honor Society here at Cazenovia College. This achievement displays my dedication to schoolwork and creating bonds and relationships with the people of our community. I am also proud of the achievement of being selected as a senior mentor by the directors of my academic program. The top ten students were selected to fill in the gaps and mentor senior citizens from CROUSE.
