Hello! I'm Des I've been employed in the health field for about a year now. Prior to that I was home with my grandmother who had multiple myeloma, I cared for her & helped her do everyday activities. Those things included taking her to doctor appointments, toileting, showering, preparing food and activities she liked to do during the day but my favorite part about it was spending time with her. After I spent the 1 1/2 caring for her I realized that being a caregiver is what I wanted to do, I love that I am able to help someone achieve the things that they are still capable of. I love to see them happy after they get done doing something. Some important things that I've taken in from working in assisted living is compassion, positive reinforcement & queing in a way that makes them feel like they have the power to accomplish anything. Keeping the happy and making them feel loved is the most important for me.
