About Doreen

I have recently completed my PCT/CNA. Worked all my life in the medical field as a transcriptionist but was laid off due to outsourcing. I decided to become a caregiver after I had lost my husband to diabetes 3.5 years ago. I also have two elderly parents who sometime in the future will need my care. I find being a caregiver a rewarding job just knowing how they were to my husband and the comfort he was given. I am proud to be a very dedicated professional in any position with great customer service and I am willing to help. I am an excellent medical transcriptionist and I do think the terminology will help in any medical situation. I am a mom of 2 daughters in their 20's. I am free to work anytime. Everyone tells me my personality is perfect for a caregiver position. I have had 40 hours of classroom and 60 hours clinical experience. It is so very important for me to pursue this type of position. Thank you!

    Hello, I'm Heather. I became a caregiver because I believe it is my Destiny. My grandmother was 80yrs old when she went into a diabetic COMA, (we didn't know that she was diabetic) we (the family members) were all called in to say our goodbyes,because after 2wks her heart was failing . I got there last to say my goodbye, and as soon as I started speaking to her, "my grandmother awoked" and started speaking to me, she called me by my name right away. I still remember the profound impact it had on me,it activated something within me,i vowed i would always take care of my grandmother to the best of my ability .The Dr. Wanted my Grandmother to be placed in a nursing HOME but she refused, so the Dr. suggested we trained to take care of her at home. From then on I knew that I was called to do this work,helping others like my Grandmother. We all became nurses because we loved and respected her so much, my Grandmother passed 8yrs later,but we all made sure that it was the most loving, respectful, most dignified time before she passed. Needless to say when she passed, we were all surrounding her with all our love and gratitudes. She died with a BIG smile on her face, I always remember that smile and in my work I aim to inspire all my patients to smile .My Grandmother's illness became a blessing for my family and me,I would love the opportunity to assist and share my blessing with your family in the most caring, compsssionate and loving manner. Thank YOU. Heather.
