About DOREEN

Hi my name is Doreen Dawkins, caregiver located in Brooklyn. I am a compassionate and patient person, which I believe are essential traits for being a great caregiver. Additionally, my experience with personal care, medication management, and mobility assistance has equipped me with the necessary skills to provide excellent care. I was drawn to being a caregiver because I have always had a natural desire to help others. The idea of being able to make a positive difference in someone's life every day is incredibly fulfilling to me. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the meaningful connections I form with those I care for. Knowing that I am making their day a bit brighter or easier brings me satisfaction. A personal achievement of mine that I'm proud of is helping my current client to partially regain their mobility and personal independence.
