About Detra

I am a caring and empathetic individual , who has spent the past 21 years living abroad and doing missionary type work. In 1998 I took my 3 children to Brazil with Doctor's Without Borders to serve a s a liason for them in setting up extremelt rural health care clinics serving very impoverished indigenous children/teens. I returned to the USA in 2020 beacuse my father was dying. I was blessed to be able to be with him in his last days. As a log time chronic pain sufferer I believe I have a very comprensive view of what patients in general are dealing with and I feel like my care exhibits that. I know no strangers! I speak Spanish, English and French fluently. I prefer part time work, close to home which is at 135 and Riverside, but am flexible. I miss my grandmother dearly. She raised me and sadly passed away while I was stuck in Brazil due to COVID19. I will care for you or your loved one exactly as I would have attended to her in her last years. Thank you, Detra
