About Deanna

Hello Everyone! My desire to work with the elderly began when my grandparents both became ill. My grandfather had Alzheimer's and my grandmother had Parkinson's. I moved in with them for over a year to help take care of them. My experience with them included arranging doctors visits, transportation, meal preparing, shopping, housecleaning, administering medication, bathing, exercising and keeping that wonderful light shining in them. My experience of having family that needed care and seeing first hand of the care out there, I wanted to continue working with the elderly. My passion has always been to help others. I have been attending college part-time to complete all my prerequisites for nursing school. While attending school, I have been working for a client's elderly mother for 2 years. I provide companionship, great conversation, light physical activity, transportation, appointment scheduling, housekeeping, shopping, errands, personal care and hygiene.

I am a compassionate person who enjoy helping others. I'm a registered CNA with CPR/BLS and EKG training, in Texas. I have over 20 years of experience with the elderly and disabled. After many years of working in a Hospital Business Office by day and caring for a family member at night, I decided to become a Caregiver to others. I know first hand what it is like to need assistance with the care of a loved one and realizing that you can't be there 24 hrs a day. The uncertainty of trusting someone else to do it for you can cause anxiety. I promise you that I will treat your loved one with kindness, dignity and respect, the same way I would like my loved ones to be treated. This isn't just a job for me, it is a ministry and a passion.

I became a caregiver many years ago when working for an Optometrist. I decided to become an Registered Nurse with my specialty in Intensive Care. It has been so rewarding over the years and caregiving has not only exceeded my expectations regarding fulfillment and joy, but continues to do so. My love for this path that I have chosen is only one quality that allows me to be an ideal caregiver. I am also, compassionate, empathetic, patient, thoughtful, and honest. Furthermore, I am dependable with the ability to communicate well, problem solve quickly and effectively, multitask, while providing a safe, healthy and happy environment for the people I am working with. At the end of the day my goal is to leave someone having the BEST day possible.
