About Desiree

I am a natural caregiver at heart since childhood.I am funny, loving, positive, and outgoing. I love helping others and allowing for them to have a better quality of life because of the help I'm able to provide.It is the most rewarding feeling ever!!! I started in the medical/caretaking field as a personal care provider, then became a CNA, and in 2009 graduated with my associates degree as a Medical Asst. Care giving is not a position for everyone but those that do it for the right reason are worth having around. I love the relationships I have established with clients over the years. Work doesn't feel like work when you are able to bring a smile to someone's face everyday, have a good time, and keep them comfortable in their own home for as long as possible.
