About Desiree

My personality is very easy to get along with, I have all types of friends and family and I get along with all of them for the most part. Anyone who says they live everyone is a Pinocchio lol. I am a great caregiver because I am honesty, trustworthy, and I work hard to help my clients live productive, happy, and comfortable, I also work hard to help them keep their dignity while receiving the help that they need. I was attracted to being a caregiver because it's what I've always done, and what I'm great at. I enjoy my job because I get to meet new people and I enjoy hearing their stories about the past. I enjoy being able to help people the way I want to be helped when the time comes for me to get it. A personal achievement I am proud of is that I've raised Five beautiful children that are growing into self sufficient and respectful adults. I am also working hard towards a degree, which doesn't effect my work schedule.
