About Larecya

I am a young lady with a big heart and lots of patients. I am a graduate with a Biology degree. I am a provider, companion, and a friend to many. I am a caregiver. I have always felt the need to care for and help others. When asked what gift God gave me, I answer the gift to care unconditionally even when the flesh tries to go against it. To make sure others are taken care of is a feeling of comfort and joy for me. My shoulder and my hands have no discrimination because I care for all and this is what makes me a great caregiver. Every since I was a young girl I took care of other of all ages. I babysittied for the younger kids, a mentor or motivater for my generation, and I was a helper and a listener for the elder. I didn't seek out being a caregiver, being a caregiver chose me. The joy that comes from helping others and seeing them appreciate your help and the life long relationship that are developed is what makes me really like being a caregiver.

    Hi, My name is DeDe. Being a caregiver for 10+ years has really helped me in so many ways. When my great grandmother was really sick and my family had a hard time finding help, I took it upon myself to take care of her until she passed away. This experience led me to my true passion. I have worked in private homes, group homes, etc. My desire is for excellence, quality and most importantly "LIFE", and to provide individualized care to each of my clients with the utmost dignity and respect. I enjoy the opportunity to impact my clients' lives in a positive way. I appreciate the chance to get to know clients and their families and become an integral part of their lives. I always give 100% and do the best job I can with no exceptions and no excuses. I take care of my clients physically, mentally and emotionally to enable them to have the best quality of life possible. "It's very rewarding to know that you are making a positive difference in someone's life."

    I became a Caregiver because helping others is what makes me, Happy. What I like about being a Caregiver is Seeing others "Happy", from a little Smile, to Laughter, Talking and Listening. Maybe just being there is a comfort, lending a Shoulder to Cry-on or a Helping Hand. My personal achievement is when you or your family member wants me to return. Then, I have done my job. I want our time spent together to be Special and maybe Make a Memory that will Last Forever.
